Run the inlet

This 1966 Ski Nautique with a Chrysler 318 in it is going to be my new dig boat. View attachment 1304378

Put some zodiac type pontoons around the rails on that Nautique and blast thru the inlet. I would watch that from the jetty.

Give those jet skis a run for their money.

Excavate about 40 cubic yards of wet sand in the surf zone and you will be golden.

Let us know when. I want to see it.

I've worked on some of the best treasure boats around. The Capitana is hard to beat. Very shallow draft,can dig in 2ft or 35ft ,tons of power with lots of deck space. And a rocket on the water. Anchor and winch set up makes set up and moving as easy as can be. Lots of boats could be dream salvage boats all it takes is MONEY!!!! And a whole lot of luck.
