My name is Tim Whiteand I have a question for anyone that might be able to help me. I have a Pearson 26, and I have a little problem . It is sitting on the bottom of the lake and 10 feet of water after a recent heavy, heavy rain. If you have any ideas how to raise her I would appreciate it very much!!!!!
So if you think you could help me please. Please e-mail me .

We raised one about that deep, at Watts Bar lake, with nylon straps and comealongs. It was in a slip so we were able to tie a strap to the dock. We also used a pontoon boat to tie to in order to lift the stern. Raised it enough to let external pumps start bailing. Luck with yours....

Oy! Know anyone with access to a BUNCH of ping-pong balls?

I'd say use two large boats to lift her slightly and ooch her to a wall or a suitable slip while still mostly submerged, maybe even with shore-based tackle when close enough. Then try to lift and bail her.

A salvage company would have the inflation bags and pumps to recover her . . . for a ghastly amount. Have you contacted your insurance agent?
