abandoned U/C carrier

[RichardT10829]

i have been looking at this for some time now and the carriers were made to swim by putting extra sheilds etc along the top and using seam sealer on the joints and block off the holes in the transom pannel where the prop shaft had gone through....well about 90% of the weight is gone so if you seal the joints with instant gasket and expanding foam she would float. this and some extra flotation barrels strapped on the side jobs a goodun.... If i lived in Canada this would be whipped away by now, i would pay to have this retrieved for the spring time so i could load it into the container with the other carrier.......i need to stop looking at this thread it brings me down.

What you describe was what was done to make carriers wade, not swim.

But I agree, I hope this carrier gets recovered sometime soon.
