Totally different than doing it while afloat, which from what I've
seen is darn near impossible without motor power, unless it's a very
light weight boat, even with a crew of strong men.


Strong men turn into weak men pretty quickly in cold water. The best
way is with a work barge and hoist. After the hull is upright the
next challenge is to get the water out before it capsizes again.
