Last summer, I hit one of the many sunken wooden boats in the Potomac, and put a dent in the hull below the water line. I'm taking the boat out of the water for a bottom job, and am wondering what I'm going to find. I'm hoping it's nothing, but what if I find a wet spot the size of the bottom of a beer can?

Bruce, by "dent" do you mean it gouged out some gelcoat, or do you mean the fiberglass is actually pushed in, and has a permanent depression a few inches across? If it's the latter, how big is it?

I hope your damage is mininal. Will you fix it yourself?
The lake we sail on in Nebraska, don't laugh, is being drained this summer. It will be interesting to see all the sunken boats and cars that have fallen in.

That sounds like a great opportunity for a movie, have your Chamber of Commerce contact Hollywood... really, that's how it is done!

Ironically I am in the film /video business and have had some ideas for a documentary. I will definately shoot lots of video and film of the process. I'm hoping to do so time lapses of the water draining and the equipment moving around.
