I didn't really look it over. Just noticed it was dirty from sitting.

70K is what an OSO member wanted for the same hull in an F2 version a few months ago. NL sold that FL 2001 600 hour TG (running, complete boat w/500's) for 80K last year.

There is a repo lot right around the corner from me and you are exactly right. People come in who have never seen a go-fast before and are too lazy to cover them back up. I bought a couple boats from the local lot a few years ago and would always get the cabin keys so I could lock the boats up (I know the owner well enough to make this request). I'm standing at the back of a boat I've just agreed to buy when someone climbs up on it. He starts banging on the cabin door then asks if it's OK to pry the door open.......I told him I just bought the boat and he looked at me like; well, can I pry it open?

I don't think NL really cares if the boats sell or not, they get paid to store the boats and to push the paperwork to and from the bank. My "guess" is that prices are set via how much the bank has in the boat plus a few. So if someone put 100k down and loaned out 50k, on a $150k boat, the bank only has 50k plus a few points. That's where I believe people get good deals, the minimum bid might be 85k, but someone might throw a low ball bid of 55k, the bank gets their 50k plus a lil, NL gets paid to store and push the paper and someone gets a good deal. On the other hand, if the same guy puts 50k down and loans out a 100k I don't see the bank taking the low bid of 55k. Additionally I don't see NL really busting their ass to coverthe boats or to push sales, it's counter productive, less sales equals longer time storing the boat which increases their revenue.
