Re: Dewatering an F-26
Those must weigh a lot when full of water like that. Good thing that wheel-loader had those five guys to counterbalance it until it was floating again.....
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!
Re: Dewatering an F-26
How could you begin to repair the damage on a boat that sank like that. Stringers are now saturated, wiring harnesses as well, engine, fuel tank upholstery. I would think that you'd pretty much have to strip it down to an empty shell and start again.

This boat is probably long gone by now, I saw this a few years ago, im willing to bet many parts are at the local consignment shop and the hull went to the dumpPaul wrote:How could you begin to repair the damage on a boat that sank like that.
