Boat that sank now on Yacht World

[wkearney99]

The sad thing is that many boats that have only been "swamped" are immanently salvageable provided recovery/restoration is started IMMEDIATELY.

Yeah, pickling the engines is really important to have happen right away. Otherwise they're better left in-water (briefly, not weeks) until immediate effort can be applied. Likewise rinsing the heck out of everything with fresh water and drying it thoroughly.

No that is unfair. Turds float.

Scope for another survey!


" Do your turds float?
*Yes
*No
*Sometimes
*Other
(Double counts for photographic proof)

Best suited as an artificial reef, clean it up and scuttle her somewhere... That is someone elses nightmare.

Salvage like this needs remanufacturing. If the original manufacturer was still in operation and agreed to do the work or, at the very least, agreed to oversee and stand behind the work - maybe.


If it's a head start on a new boat - maybe. If you are going to chase the fish and bugs out of it and take someone for a ride - no thanks.
