I would pass plus if it has a salvage title resale value won't be much

Re: Flooded boats
the story we were told is the boat was in a dry stack storage place with the plug out in missisippi when the water came in. he sent a pic of under the bed area and there doesn't look like any mold. still, after reading the posts, it looks like my husband (as sensible as he can be sometimes) really needs to pass on this. thanx for the help!
