you would think so , but Ive been on the phone all afternoon and nothing,,, mm interesting, might be a good business venture. no one in that area is willing,
if the weather was warmer I would def do it myself, but is like really cold and dont feel like freezing I mean its not that hard to do, a good sharp knife and about 1 min should do it ,

They will dive all the time down here even winter when the water is 30-40deg.

Put on a wetsuit and do it yourself... shouldnt be too hard, looks to me like if you fiound the loose end you could unwind it without too much difficulty.
I did a Searay (tunnel drive made it harder) last summer with mask & snorkel.... only took a few dives to get the best end free then it was pretty easy to unwind.

Wish I'd been able to chime in earlier this weekend and saved you a lot of worry. Same thing happened to me on the canal trip last year, except it was pulling in and out of a very shallow marina channel. I picked up a hunk-a weeds and the prop/shaft started to vibrate and I was experiencing noticeable drag. Mention to the next lock tender on the canal and he told me to run it in reverse inside the lock. This untangled the weeds and it was good as new. I've had line tangled around the prop also, and you can do this using a snorkle, no need to go the Cousteau route (although it does look mightly cool)

Under water Camera ?? Thats a cool Idea Bill I expect you next post will be about the robot you used to untie the line

got you thinking now LOL

maybe your marina will do a Quick hall for cheap (many will )

no such luck Paul, my marina is only thinking about $$$$$$$ their idea of a quick haul is 437.00 plus tax. the marina next door from me will do it for 9 bucks a ft, if all else fails
so I placed an ad on Craigslist lets see what happens,,,lol, hey I got nothing to loose and about 337.00 to gain, if I give someone a hundred bucks for a 5 min job

Around here it would run 100 to 150 bucks max with a travel lift cheaper with a fork lift. all the have to do is lift it you cut The line and back it goes

diver 35 - 75 bucks

I wish, that would be nice, I could always motor down river on one engine but Id use 100 bucks worth of fuel

100 bucks of fuel ? in that case come to the rendezous and I will dive under it for FREE (waters warm in Aug.)
