Why?
If they can find the issue, get the right tide, and correct the list with ballast, as long as the draft doesn't increase too much as a result, she'll float again.
She went up there at the top of a fairly high tide.If they can find the issue, get the right tide, and correct the list with ballast, as long as the draft doesn't increase too much as a result, she'll float again.
As it happens, I see reports that they have got her moving a bit.

That's a belter; being gently tilted over at 50 degrees is more damaging to cars than hitting potholes at 30 mph for 80k miles. Physics not a strong suit? I appreciate that underwriters are herd animals though, so I can see this lot being palmed off on some less fussy market like Africa or Russia where no-one gives a st; the cost of doing so will be a lot less than disposal by crushing and recycling.
Did you read the link posted earlier to the Mazda boat? These cars will be crushed. hidetheelephants said:
