perfect recovery boat

[underwoodb.]

hello I'm new here and as of yet done no treasure hunting and really have no real idea as to how to get started but im countin on you experts to help me out...maybe even partner up with me on something. I have recently bought a 94 ft ex- pt boat that i think would make a perfect recovey vessel, or pirate boat.lol. I will be spending the next year refitting her for recovery operations. I've been a diver for 20 years and have done search and recovery on boats for 5 years . I was also a scout in the army for 6 years, so I am an excellent navigator on land as well a water . Anyhow i ill be ready to go in june of next year and in the mean time i will be monitoring this site for leads and possible partners. hope to hear from yall soon.
Bill
