Much of it was hauled out and dumped near Rattlesnake. A few years back (well, maybe as many as ten) a few guys went looking with sonar and found some debris. There wasn't much left. Some wood & pipes & clamps. From what I remember, it was pretty deep, and buried deep in the bottom muck/silt. I still have the article from the Grunter, and will scan and post when I get home.

That's not to say that there aren't good-sized chunks of the wreckage scattered along the way to the deep part of the Lake. Amazing how much stuff is right off the Weirs.
