A buddy did this although his sled wasn't modified. Made it a bunch of times but eventually sank it about 12 feet down. Had to pay for divers to retrieve it. Tried to run it under warranty afterwards. Never heard how that went, but I think he went bankrupt shortly after and lost it anyway, along with his house. Fucking idiot. ( edit: he was just crossing a small lake, not racing down a river)
