That's what I was trying to say, but you did it much better, Jake. My memory is sketchy because it's not something I like to remember. The boat was our home at the time, so I just refer to it as "the flood." As in, "Oh, that's right, we lost that book in the flood."

No more monohulls for us.

Anyway, if the boat only cost him $500, he is probably looking for a very inexpensive way to raise it. It would probably be cheapest to give it away as salvage.
