I have these exact same boat, a 1984 version and it sunk at the slip. We raised it the next day, and I gave it away to a guy who took it down to the keys to use as a floating hotel room. In my case at low tide, the water wasn’t quite up to the gunnels. Same situation though excess rainwater and some idiot jerk unplugged my power supply. I had multiple bilge pumps on it which were 12 V driven as well as a 110 V automatic pump just to be safe. But the boat never took our water, except for this one rain storm, and some dude gutter decided he was going to unplugged all the boats in the marina because I thought the tide was gonna bring the boats over the top of the docks. And then she went. No Insurance either.
Florida game wardens must be very cool. And $8,000 really isnt much. My Trojan F32 sank day after Christmas. Salvage bill is $37,800. It wasnt sank as bad as this, the salvage crew used a 3 inch pump and refloated and towed it in. Its considered totaled.
Any chance you want to help a guy get his yacht unsunk in Largo bay, the guy lives on his boat, dont think he has the resources and knowhow to get it up.
That is now junk...but I would bet he will "clean" it up and sell it to some unsuspecting fool...very much like how scumbags sell flooded cars to people
Awesome job and even better attitude. Keep on trucking man. Kudos
I'm impressed. Well done getting her up, then right side up, then afloat!
How long to raise it and how much were the bags and where did you get them. Great job!

For Sale: 30 foot boat recently deep cleaned.
How much do you want for it 😂
Keep your insurance premium paid. Mariners have line, cowboys have rope. Leave the beer on the beach...

that’s a sad sight to see with a beautiful boat like that but glad y’all got it out .
What size are the floats that he used?
Yo if you or your friends want to do this for me I got a boat behind my house I need lifted asap
Is this englewood?
Love that boat, do u still have it😮
90x90x6m posts get ten beams and a few 230 bolts and at least Least x4 winch straps- bingo
A 20 mic and a dirty sock could've saved everyone the wind noise headache. Aside from that good video.
Did you get it sold?
Funny I sank mine 3 yrs ago. I refloated it. Dried it out. Changed the builge pump and 1 trim solenoid. No other problems.
No rot anywhere? Mould? That's lucky. I see sunk boats everywhere here on the Thames river. Saddens me.
That's why a boat stands for bust out another thousand

How much water did it have at low tide? It looks like its just got some water in it! My boat sunk!, u couldn't even see it
Did you find out why it sank?
unfortunately; this appears to be mostly about a guy's face ?
What about your finger?
Wait you charter fish and you have no insurance.?
He said he has insurance on his charter boats but not this non charter boat.

my neighborhood
I don't why you would put bwgs under the boat. Geeze
How are you gonna sell that? Every piece of wire needs to be replaced. You can’t just dry it out. It’s gonna burn. Lol. Cool video though.
As is, people restore those things.
This boat belongs in a scrapyard!
Total loss.
This is fucked. You didn't show us the best part.
