I 2nd SPINWING's suggestion

Depending on what altitude it's at will determine the machine needed... But a 407/350 should do... Just make sure you use a long line and take your time on that initial lift from the water so that any excess will drain out... Don't drag it in the water as this will pull you down. Lift it out and clear vertically, which might be a bit of problem if it is in the middle of a lake with no reference like a shore side. If so, anchor a boat/bouy close by for reference od drifting. Had this problem when I initially started with my fire fighting rating until the instructor suggested I go pick up water closer to the side of the lake for reference...
