There was actually the possibility of righting that Everglades if they
had been prepared for that. No reason they should be, but with 4
strong heavy guys and the right technique and gear it was a
possibility.
Then they'd face the issue of bailing without rolling it again in
heavy seas.
I read once of a guy who got pretty good at righting his bigger racing
multi-hull with a little powerboat assistance.

Once a boat like that is full of water and in big seas, the chances of
successfully righting it are just about zero. It would take either a
crane or divers with air bags to have any chance of success.
