Thread: Sunken boat rules.

    Just wondering, how things would work if an owner sinks their boat and decides they dont want to bring it up. Can you go in and have it pulled up without contacting the owner? or what if you find out about a boat that has been underwater for a good bit and you have no idea who the owner is? anyone have a clue? I am just curious, I have no plans on bringing up a sunken boat.

    "Acceptance" is the man here for underwater salvage questions.

    In Oklahoma, it would still belong to the original owner. Does not matter if he intended to bring it up or not. If you bring it up, you just did him a favor.

    haha...no way. Just wondering cause I have talked to a few people who have lost bitchen boats and never recovered them. I got a little paranoid and started wondering...what if we have a shortage on v drives, people would have to start digging them up from the bottom of lakes and restoring them or something. there are some nice boats at the bottom of most lakes.

    The last time I talked to an "official" Castaic had over 450 boats in it not on it. I personally know of some pretty badass ones down there.

    A friends jet boat is sitting around 550' down at Castaic. It was really nice too.
