They fill the old wood hull with enough foam monster noodles, maybe six fat noodles, to keep it stable, and above water, and start bailing out the water with a blue $2.69 Walmart, 5-gal bucket .... 5-gallons water weighs 40-lbs ..... so, every bucket full of water removes 40-lbs weight ..... much faster than many small electric pumps ...... Walmart to the rescue! Ya know......this would really get it done on the cheap. Then, tow it to a trailer on a boat launch ramp, or if available, to a boat lift. And, start thinking about installing some flotation.
