Sunken Pontoon Recovery in Fort Myers
We got to the ramp before sunrise, because a 24 ft Harris FloteBote 24 with bubbled vinyl and a snapped bimini frame was blocking a lane. Her gunwales sat level with the water, hooked on the edge of the concrete.
The ramp was public, so we had a short window before boat traffic started. We ran pumps from the truck, and a diver sealed a cracked tube. The pontoon floated within an hour. Then we hooked a winch and pulled her up the slope onto the trailer before the first truck came to launch.
The job ran half a morning. This sunken boat recovery was mostly about beating the clock. The tubes were sound, so she was salvaged and went through Cape Coral to a repair yard. The tow from the ramp's edge to the trailer was twenty feet.
