Probably the best chance for rebuildable airframes is in any of the many freshwater lakes in the US & Canada. Apart from the Great Lakes, Lake Washington would probably be one of the most promising - apart from its proximity to Boeing (one of the first Lazy B seaplanes was lost "under the log booms at Renton") - it's been used as a seaplane base while Sandy Point was a major USN training base. Water temperature at the bottom of all of them is close to freezing with very little oxygen and no shipworm so preservation should be good.
