By looking at the third pic, at least your shammy is still good. I have that same blue and green sponge too. 😃 Renters insurance was a great investment. Hope everything turns out well. ---

buy it back off the insurance company and strip it for parts, you might have lucked out and no water got into the motor. i know jay(rusty240sx) had his 240 down at domination during a big flood, was underwater almost to the roof, bought it off of insurance, tore down motor and nothing was wrong with it. might be worth looking at. ---
