Looks intact and probably is. Nightmare to pull out all the fasteners and
metal. Yuk!
In fresh water , just pull the engine and gear out, do some corrosion
control and reassemble. Inspect, test and go fly!
4-6 hard weeks plus engine rebuild time. Salt leaching out of the seams,
joints fastener holes etc. is a real concern.
$25,000 insurance job in fresh water, but in salt water, I doubt it will
return to fly. Would require a higher inspection requirement due to
corrosion concerns and getting the fasteners out and changing trim motors
and tailplane system on a classic is a bit of a pain..
Saved the pilots life and the environment.... Must be a good airplane.
