Sunken boat removal

During the night a loud whooshing noise was heard by people on nearby boats and in the morning a sunken boat in its slip was discovered.  This boat had been neglected and not paying its bills for some time so the marina had to deal with it.  At first it was pulled over to the shore and tied up for a few nights until a crane could come and lift it while the water was pumped out.  They managed to plug the worst of the leak and it was towed over to the forklift area.  At first there was too much weight and the forklift was starting to tip over forwards while trying to lift it out.  After a bit more pumping and moving the boat closer to the forklift it was lifted out and removed to a stand behing a building for eventual cutting up and disposal.
