The boat is not salvagable, she was under water with a pile through her back,at right angle to her slip, under a 10' surge with 3 to 4' swells over her for 20+ hours. We just have never ever seen anything like this. The hole is 4-5' wide, the starbord bow has a hole 3' wideabove the waterline, the rudder is broken in half. The keel to hull joint looks like new, not even a hair line crack.The express is unbelievably strong, people who see her can not believe there is anything left, its just those damn pilings

:: Dave,

:: I am in the process of rebuilding another E-27 after it
:: was damaged in a collision. Within the next couple of
:: weeks I am going to the moulds to make new parts. What
:: condition is your boat in? Is it salvagable or totaly
:: crushed? Do you want help fixing or would you want to
:: sell it?

:: With all the tough times down there I wish you well.
:: Hopefully you have not lost more than your boat.

:: Good Luck,

:: Will
