i had a terrible water problem after I put an addition on the house. Water started coming in under my metal bulkhead. I hired a professional company and the jack hammered a trench from the bottom of the bulkhead into a hole where they put crushed stone and 2 sump pumps, one at the bottom and 1 2 feet up. We put in a dedicated circuit, have a generator and had the whole house wired into a panel for the generator. End of problem. No water in the basement in 2 years. Best money I ever spent.

No boat, back in the suds.
