Default Boat sunk, salvage

found a boat on copart for sale but you never get much information from them. wondering if anyone on here knew the boat, history or how it became salvage, fresh water or salt. it appears to be a 1995 43 black thunder but i cant tell. the HIN # DON43VC4A595 and the transom of the boat has "to fly free" cooperburg PA. thanks

IMO, a boat to part out only. Not worth fixing

Many 20 year old boats that have never been sunk with rotten transoms and stringers out there already.

Take a boat and submerge it and any pinhole in the glass where water can get into the wood is fair game.

Wood never dries out after that..

I would only want it for parts. Didn't know if they are real 500's or not. Didn't know if it really sunk, fresh or salt. Figured someone would know the boat / person and get the real storey. I have no desire to get that thing on the water lol
