Help! My Seacraft sunk!!!

[JohnB]

A buddy of mine does salvage in the great lakes. Boats, planes, etc. Sometimes he puts a fitting on the gas tank filler, and then fills the gas tank with air and uses the gas tank to help make positive floatation. Their primary lifting items are tire tubes. It's easy to get one near the surface, the trick is getting it pumped out. If you not that far from the ramp, a couple of miles or so, it might be easier to slowly tow it with the tubes attached, and when you get it to the ramp, use a tow truck to slowly pull it up on the beach/ramp/trailer.

Be careful, you can easily sink another boat, or get hurt doing this.
