he can build a earthen pond around the boat and down to the waters edge.
Fill with water and float the boat to the water. Break open the wall to
drain the water and spread the remaining dirt around the yard.

While Wilma was passing us here in Satellite Beach yesterday, the water in
our canal rose about 4 ft above normal.
A neighbor had his jet boat (oversized jet ski) on the lift but not tied
to
the dock. After the boat traveled around that side of the canal a bit, he
got it back to his yard and pulled it into the yard and tied it to a tree.
Water at all time time high.
The water dropped rapidly after the storm went by and now this 1,500 lb
oversized jet ski is about 3 feet above the water with a concrete sea wall
in the way.
How do you explain to the insurance company that you need a crane to
launch
the boat you put in the yard? ...

He can wait for another hurricane to help him put it back in the canal.
