It's funny that you should mention the boats. That is exactly what I was thinking about. We have had a couple of instances where the battery of a boat was submerged for whatever reason. Not only was the battery fine long term, but in some cases there were electrical devices that were still functioning.
My very anecdotal and non-scientific answer is that if the battery still shows a good charge when you check it out, it will probably be fine long term.
