Nice! So happy for you finding it, very good!

Maybe it's time to take Steve up on the paint job offer now?



Remember to get it started and run it for at least half hour. :lmao:
Might want to change the plugs.

That is incredible. All that "growth" and being only 2 weeks under water.
Look at all the baby Barnacles....LOL!

Also may want to change the water in the foam. May be stale and contaminated.

any engine pics. looks bad, but man i'm pretty happy you found it!

I think the barnacles will give me some better traction!

A random diver found it and notified one of his friends who then contacted me and asked if I still wanted it. His daughter dove down with some air bags and brought her up. It was in 48 FEET of water!!!

No pictures of the engine compartment?

Congrats on getting it back though!

 

[Shifty]

Wow,

I can't believe it was found, and all of that growth in such a short time, crazy.
Engine Pics.

Did they recover it for free? Or was it a blackmail situation?

Nope, I don't have any. I was playing in a high-stakes APA Pool Tournament yesterday and Saturday and a friend of mine went and got it, pressure washed it inside and out and took the motor out and disassembled it for me. I wasn't able to get it until this morning.

 

[tightithrash]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!

I paid three hundred to have it floated and brought to the dock. This was an agreement I had with this guy who had a crane on his boat and does this sort of thing for a living. I was HAPPY to pay for it!!!!
