if the engine did not ingest water, drain the hull and spray any wet wiring conections with silicon spray,, if water was pulled in the engine, remove the spark plugs asap crank the water out and get the engine running pronto. or it will rust and be ruined.

use starting fluid and keep trying if you do not get it running it will rust.
just put the plugs in finger tight, keep removing them and cleaning them with starting fluid, it will wash off the water etc from the plug tip, eventually it will run ,, poorly at first but keep at it.
