The deck likely came off first. Then without the support of the deck, the side caved in.
Lots of theories of why the hull failed have and are being bounced around.

Pat McPherson

Yes...
I got caught by surprise and hit a large power boat wake running pretty hard.
We got some air of the first wave, and then the second tripped the boat sending the nose into the 3rd.

I may put it up for sale as is for $5000.
If I part it out, I'm thinking I could sell the stuff for $6000 to $8000.
Or, I could keep most of the parts for another hull.
Still no numbers from the insurance company yet though.

Let me know if you part it out, I would be interested in the hydro steering.
Good luck.

Pat McPherson

Well, the insurance company put a salvage value of $6250 on the boat.
I told them at that number, take it away...
More to come?

Can you find out where it goes to? Maybe the yard wills sell the parts off? Did you try a counter offer?

You can cu that boat up with a chainsaw and put it into a dumpster. Most boats like that will fit into a 40 yard roll off once they are cut up.

Good luck with your salvage. You should re offer at 3k.

Pat McPherson

Tomorrow when I talk to the adjuster, I will teller her that no one in their right mind is going to give them more than $3500 for the wreck.
Great idea, if the insurance company does not take my offer, maybe the yard that picks up the boat the boat will.

Pat McPherson

Well, I was able to make a deal for a lot less today.
At this point, I plan to keep the running gear and steering for another boat/hull.
Some parts, I will put up for sale.
Thanks for the input...
