Unlimited budget method: Hire a helicopter.

Realistically, there are float bags that have thousands of pounds of buoyancy. They can be placed under the boat and inflated with scuba tanks. The float bags will draw much less water. Then the boat can be towed out with a suitably sized power boat. Also, no damage to the boat from dragging will occur. Once out in deeper water, the boat cannot sink either. Another benefit is minimal damage to the coral.
