Answer 9

Plenty stuck in the mud in the UK. Drive around the Marinas and flats and estuaries. Also search the net for Salvage Boats...Bent Boats...Used Boats

And UK listings on ebay motors at www.motors.ebay.com ...click on boats. then sailboats then narrow search to your area...which may be slim, but worth a try.
