Hurricane Sandy repair work

[welderbob]

So 8 years ago I built a hydraulic crane on the bow of a new 30' Munson. It was a neat project that worked very well for the customer. He did mooring and diving work in Greenwich CT. Two years later we built a cabin in the shop and set it around the console that was on the boat.
Fast forward to hurricane Sandy, The boat was on a mooring and probably got tangled up with a loose boat. Unfortunately the boat sank. The customer also lost his house. So he sent us the boat to redo. Five gallons of Aluma-brite and the boat looked better than it had in a long time. Finishing up the wiring and waiting for the insurance company and the new motors.

That is a hard way to get new engines! She looks like a real good vessel for the jobs she does. Post more pics, PLS!

Once again, Nice work Bob. Now I am not an "Expert" on the subject, BUT, Is it always necessary to replace a motor(s) if the boat sinks?? No flotation in that "Bad Boy"??? I know Marine use is a "Whole different animal". I sank the ATV & the truck WAY too many times. Changed the oil & other fluids until they looked like new & off to another "Mis-adventure".

Salt water is evil. The boat sat on the bottom for a week while our government determined if the was any environmental damage or something. By the time it got to me the computers had saltwater in them
The boat has 3 watertight compartments. Don't want to speculate why it didn't stay afloat.
