Dear Forum Members,
Unfortunately our 1979 E30 2, located in Nyack, NY on the Hudson River broke away from her mooring and beached during Isaias. She is sunken, I don't yet know whether if there is hull damage and if so how big. She has a Yanmar 2GM20F in good shape that I just worked on and replaced the exhaust elbow. She doesn't have many electronics so I believe electrical wiring may not be a big issue if she is in reparable condition.
I would appreciate any advice on how to decide whether to try to save her or let her go. Is it worth trying to save the engine even if the hull damage is too big? If so, what would be the best way of doing that. Anything else worth saving?
This would be our third season with her after buying her end of the 2018 season. We couldn't sail her last year due to an injury and was really looking forward to finally getting to sail her this year.
Thank you for the help and advice! Best regards,
Tufan
