I need your help. My brother sank his Sea Ray.
First, I apologize for having a brother who owns a Sea Ray, but he's my brother and I have to accept him as he is.
Second, I'm a bit short on details. I asked my brother what engine he has; he said "it's black". I asked if he had a manual. He said, "no - it's automatic".
It's a 5h drive to his cottage. I want to save the boat. You can assume he has nothing on hand but beer.
What work should I plan on doing? What tools and equipment/supplies should I take?
Here's the little that I do know:
Thanks in advance.

Here's the little that I do know:
- A big storm took his tonneau cover off
- The boat sank at a mooring, about 30' from shore on a sand bottom in about 3-4ft of water
- The boat is a mid- to late- 2000's Sea Ray 18' bow rider
- It sat in fresh water, on the bottom, for about 3 days
- It's pumped out and on a trailer now.
- He talked to our dad first, and Dad told him not to turn it over, not under any circumstances. My brother said he thought it was too heavy to turn over. (Really)
Thanks in advance.
