Tips on raising a sunken boat?
I'm trying to find my 14 ft ski boat, it sank in about 15 to 20 feet of water, at least a half mile from the nearest shore. How do you go about raising it once its found? Can you hook a line on it, then try to pull it with a larger boat? If you did that, would the forward motion bring it to the surface? Any other ideas? I'm trying to do this with a few friends, rather than hiring divers, ect...
Its a fiberglass boat that weighs aprox 1200lb, incluing the outboard.
Air bags filled from Scuba tanks will raise the boat. (They have amazing lifting power) From there, you simply pump out the boat. You would need a gas powered pump (available at rental stores) if you plan on doing it off shore, which is probably the way to go, as towing in a half sunken boat is not easy. Oh, patching any holes will be necessary as well.
