If I had the ability to do it I might take you up on it. Ya know I would not mind seeing an old automobile reef in deeper water. (100'+) Imagine a several mile long reef where now we have an underwater desert. In a year it would be covered in growth and create habitat where there is none.
Not to mention it will keep the draggers away, esp if you scatter a few stray ones around the reef.

I have a buddy who is very active in artificial reef deployment (not in New England though) a few years ago he sent me this video of one they did down south. The place was an underwater desert then check it out after is sat a few months. I just uploaded the video and divers visit the reef 0, 3, 10 months after deployment.
