A federal judge Wednesday ordered that an Elmont, N.Y., boat owner can reclaim his 38-foot Silverton powerboat, tossed by Hurricane Sandy from its dry dock into a nearby homeowner’s swimming pool.
Trouble is, the homeowner wants the estimated $75,000 in damage to his pool repaired before he’ll allow the boat to be recovered.
A U.S. District Judge granted an emergency right to enter the homeowner’s property and retrieve the boat.
