Not to knock Divers time spent searching but a thought came to me...............doesn't whomever raises the boat than have salvage rights? And in the end make $$$$$? Not that I'm knocking that nor am I saying for a person to invest all that time he shouldn't be rewarded. None of us can make a living working for free. But I'm just stating a fact.
They would in the ocean, even if they only kept the boat from sinking (salvage rights does not necessarily mean the salvor gets the boat, but it can mean they are entitled to a substantial percentage of the boat's value). Not sure how maritime salvage laws apply to inland lakes though.
