I wonder if one day some archeologist will find my boat or yours and come up with an explanation on how or why it got there? And maybe even get it right

...they will find it on boat stands with the bottom half painted...or with a scrap of nylon line wrapped around the propeller tied to a Purex bottle on one end with remnants of a strange metal cage attached to the other:laugh:

I love it! You are the winner!! The correct answer is when the archeologists finely get to removing the remains of the boat under it they will find a skeleton and in his hands will be a brush still saturated with red lead anti fouling. And they will deduce that it was a Religious right to bury a boat owner with his only real love in a position in which he spent so many hours of his life. Amen

I heard it was a 30'er, probably a catalina30. Those things are everywhere.

I wonder how much money they will spend scraping and investigating and researching the thing, when way back then they considered it junk and buried it?

Hoffa, or what was left of him, was torn down for a new parking lot. No such special additions to the new stadium unless someone snuck a Cowboys or Patriots uniform into the concrete.
This boat probably has the remains of a Tory sympathiser who was caught discharging his holding tank inside the 3 mile limit. They were a lot harsher back then.
