No Pete, just a basic cantilever. Owner is actually out of town, I am going to row out there tonight and survey it, try and determine how deep it really is and also place an additional marker as I am not sure how well that rope was attached before it went down.
No Plan yet Chris, he will most likely need to send a diver down to tie off and maybe have the local pier installer come out with his duck boat crane to hoist it up. Guessing where it dropped is about 30' deep. The pier section that also went out we can probably hoist by hand. |

I sure hope the lift wasn't a Shore Station hydraulic! Besides getting a diver to go after it, he may have a certain agency going after him!

I'd pump a bunch of ping pong balls down to it like the mythbusters and float that B back home!

March 7, 2012 our lake is officially open water!! This is the earliest ice out in my memory!!
Crazy thing did happen this AM, my neighbor never takes his boat lift completely out of the water, just drags it to the shore where it freezes in. Usually not a problem except this year, LOL. This AM it floated out with the ice, made it about 2-300 yards from shore before it went down, roflmao. While we were working on getting the John boat launched to attempt a rescue one of the guy's kayaked out and tied a ski line with a buoy to it. We now know where 30 foot above his boat lift is, OUCH. |
