28 bids for a sunken boat, already!

It would cost more to really fix it than you can buy a used one for, I'm
afraid. I don't see how it sank at the dock. It's already 7' deep and the
keel is quite large.

These keels have a 200 gallon water tank in them. If the hole is somewhere
else, wouldn't pumping out the water tank be enough to float it?
Interesting to try....it's in the keel!

Each tiny red dot is an airliner in this Quicktime movie, ONE recent day of
air travel in the USA. What would happen if "they" found out this was the
real source of air pollution or cancer or why all the bugs around my
streetlight have disappeared? Would "they" tell us? Would "they" STOP
IT?!

Doubtful, that's only 1600 lbs of flotation.
