Hell, the hull looks better than some I've seen that haven't been sunk, and that's a perfectly good core motor.  i bet with a good cleaning, that casale box is still rebuildable. 

I'd be strapping a line to the bow eye and towing it back to the ramp...looks like it'll float.

Technically, it's not "in" lake mead, so it's fair game right?

yeah, what he said...plus someone mentioned before that theres also a no scavenging law as well.

the hull is in much worse shape then you think....big hole in the passanger side rub rail where it had been rubbing on rocks for years......im sure the wood (if any left) is rotted beyond anyone can believe.....what was left of the interior was just vinyl. the wood was gone....so imagine what those stringers look like under the glass......and im sure that vdrivecase is usable, but after a ton of work.....and to get it out...good luck....99% of the bolts heads in the entire boat are rusted so bad, theres no shape to them anymore.

i say we leave it alone...let it lay in its grave.

we havent even scratched the surface on sunken flatties or boats in general on lake mead! just like any other lake!

this comes from RDP...also on lake mead!

A couple more pics form 6/5...

Ok so i just spent an hour reading this whole thread.... whats become of this?

What do you mean?

You can rebuild anything but I suspect it would take $60k +.  Go to craigs list and you can get one for 1/10th the price.

This is probably the only boat you'll see Josh driving this summer.....


 

Man, I'd like to salvage those fuel caps!!
