My uncle had those in his boat in Chesapeake Bay in the States. His boat had originally been sunk (prior to his ownership) by hitting a semi submerged telegraph pole that had been dumped in the bay (they cost a fortune to dispose of in USA due to tars and creosotes in the wood). He salvaged the boat by a combination of inflating inner tubes inside the flooded cabin and pumping, after fitting a plywood and rubber patch to the hole. The boat was towed home and hoisted out of the water. The Pentas were stripped and found to be fine. The boat gave him years of service afterwards.:shrug:
That's sort of reassuring to know :eek::D

He had a business using a floating piledriver for building and repairing piers, so got to hear about lots of "bargains" and "clearances", so offered to move the boat for free salvage. Whilst doing his work, he found lots of "lost" items, including outboards, chainsaws and even a Chevy Impala!:shrug:
