What actually causes that much damage? Did he hit a nuclear submarine? I mean that isnt just hitting debris... That is some for real chit right there...

I just looked at the pics and the video for the first time. The past owner of this boat, cosign seller, and surveyor would they draw blanks if you shown them the pics and the VIDEO ?? just asking Totally very honest if that would be the cause - I would wonder what their claim is --- "it was not like that when we had it" ?

you got to be kidding me that no one beforehand came clean about that kind of damage, like the new owner would never find out about it. WOW I really feel bad for you sorry about your loss here.

That is not just the run of your mill damage - that structure to me looks like it has been taking on water more than just recently.

Even if boats are sitting over the water or in the water - I still will push 100 % to the buyer and seller, the boat has to come out of the water for bottom inspection and other varies inspections - if not I have the buyer sign a totally BEWARE paper at their risk if they passed on the pull out. If the seller will not pull the boat out - then we back out 100 % - there is always reason for that one. usually hiding something. Just saying.

Get Glass Dave up here to look at pics and vid - he is very sharp about this stuff, and his conclusions are very professional spot on. Would like to hear his thoughts on the possible cause of this -

There was the light blue with tan interior over the winter. Owner wouldn't deal.

Very sorry about this - WOW who owed and currently owns LCM when you bought this - I have reasons to my asking as well

Both of them should fine new businesses to enter into if that looks even remotely good. Can we get them to the eye surgeon as well.

the past owner of the boat not very honest either I would have to say.

Yup- looks like 525's with a 700 plate on the throttle body.

Unless someone really leaned on them......
