We had an ice road where I used to live. Naturally, some idiot would continue to use it well after the proper authority deemed it unsafe...something about having a 'light weight' car. Anyways, when pulled out the drink, it was off to the local body shop where they put it under the lights for a few days of drying. Afterwards, it was oil change, oil change, oil change.
When this happens and you go crying to the local marina they just give you a bored look. They see engines/boats that have sunk on a regular basis.

Do they know what "kind" of salvage title yet, assured destruction, no rebuild, or run it through two states and its clean again? Supposed to be a nationwide flood database cars go into as well.
Boats are made to be in salt water, sinking isn't that much wetter, just lower. Cars have places that don't drain fully or get clogged, and don't like salt at all. 928's I've looked at that were parked "near" salt water have had funky corrosion you don't normally see.
Once a wet cars warms up wet, yuck stuff starts growing like mildew where the smell never really goes away.
