I wonder what it would cost to fix that boat back up?

Willhound

Yikes! Hurricane??

Handymans342

Yes

aero3113

Someone already took the hardtop.

rasbury

Yikes!

raybo3

such a shame. It was a beautiful boat.

Was a nice boat.....time for the shredder.

Trashman

They need a dumpster and a sawzall

LaRea

With the hardtop gone, the auction is a pipe dream.  They will end up paying somebody to haul the carcass away and shred it.  

rasbury

don't over look what you can't see- motors and out drives have to be worth something to someone!

Handymans342

What outdrives??? They were totally ripped off

rasbury

Well the motors have to be salvageable....that's a lot of money there. Bow rails, other stainless stuff...hey one mans trash.....

Handymans342

Engines trash. Under water for days

LaRea

Oh, there are definitely bits and pieces that could be resold.  But the buyer would also have to move the boat, remove the parts, sell them all, and dispose of the hull -- all of which costs money.  It's a losing proposition.

Handymans342

The whole interior is shot as is the electrical. Everything has to be replaced

LaRea

For an example of a salvage boat that could be brought back, look at this 2011 310.

Tow that right up to AL

rasbury

I'm guessing this could be a pretty good business, especially if companies slow down or get out of production of these boats...maybe not o this extreme...

@LaRea - Geez the picture of that Rinker 2011 EC 310 breaks my heart what an As******e to damage a boat like that!

Michael T

Speaking of total losses..... just watched a Miami news station last night. There were dozens of big boats still abandoned all over Miami from Irma damage and even though the owners could be traced via the hull and reg numbers the reporter said it was not mandatory - in Florida - to carry  damage insurance. Therefore piles of these boats were being lifted with cranes and put on transports to be taken away. NOT the responsibility of the owner to retrieve and dispose of them. Once more Joe Public gets ****$ed.

Note to anyone buying any boat, anywhere, ever: pay for a professional survey.  And if the price is too good to be true ...
