How about contacting a towing company and using their air bags under the bridge deck and float her out. JohnB On 5/3/2012 8:43 AM, Densler, Vernon R (AS) wrote: The marina owner is looking for other options so that we can make sure we do the right thing. Anyone have any ideas?

Looking into bags but they would have to be really big to go under the bridge deck and raise up much. We really need to get the hull up from the bottom. -Original Message- From: liveaboard-boun...@liveaboardonline.com [mailto:liveaboard-boun...@liveaboardonline.com] On Behalf Of JohnB

Seems to me that the marina owner should be paying a salvager to recover your boat and then paying to restore it. If he does not want to do that then maybe you need to find a lawyer. On May 3, 2012 8:45 AM, Densler, Vernon R (AS) vernon.dens...@ngc.com wrote: The marina owner is looking for

I am going to talk to a lawyer since I have group legal at work and it won't cost to get a consultation. I am trying to give the marina owner the benefit of the doubt though and let him try to make things right. He is going to try to do it the cheapest way possible though. From:

Boy, Vern, that really sucks big time! Presumably, the marina owner takes full responsibility for the damage and will cover all the repair costs? I'm sure there's no comeback in terms of the value of lost sailing time but given the way you describe he never told you about old pilings I'd hate

That may be an option. Sam's step son does this kind of work so maybe he will like getting a mud bath and get them out of there. The concrete is going to be tough to get through though. -Original Message- From: liveaboard-boun...@liveaboardonline.com

I don't know how much room you have but I once raised an International Scout from the bottom of the lake using(6) 55 gallon drums. I would think you could run lifting slings or rope under the hulls and in your case sink the barrels with the bung at the bottom then using an air compressor pump air

I am floating right now or at least I was when I left last night. The issue is getting the boat high enough to get off of the skewers or cutting the skewers so that they can be removed from the hull. Once that is done I can seal the holes and pump the boat out then get it to a place it can be
