Default What to do when she sinks...?

I only have one float plane and it is my old trainer on floats (nothing special) I don't get to fly it much. The other day a boinked a landing in fresh water and the floats stopped as the plane kept flying/falling. It hit the water very smooth on the fuse and then began to slowly fill with water. It sank to the wings before I could swim out to it..

The real question is what do I do now. I dried it off by keeping it in a hot suv for about three days and tested the electronics yesterday. One servo is toast but everything else checks out. The receiver was in a plastic bag but thats it. All the other servos got soaked.

Anyone else have any experience with this sort of thing?
