[QUOTE="Steve, post: 1999295, member: 207010"] That will not work.... but i've raised many boats. You can dive down to it, right??? First, get you four empty 55 gallon drums..... and drill a 1" hole on one side, anywhere near the drum's middle. Above that hole near the top, and below the hole near the bottom, drill one more hole, in line, with the middle hole, all 1" wide. Now, get you some 5/8th's rope, and tie a tight loop thru the top and bottom hole, but not the center one. Next, you cut your rope into two pieces, 10' long, and put a 1/2 quick link (made for chain) on each end. Now, get a portable air compressor. You dive down, and put your two ropes underneath the boat, one on each end. Next you sink your drums to the bottom by the boat, and when ready, connect one drum to each end of rope, with your quick links. The idea is then to take your air hose, turn it on a very low setting, and fill each drum with air..... evenly. I've raised many boats up to 28' with this method..... once near the top, you'll need a pump or two. Good luck,. [/QUOTE]
