I would think the limited number of insurers available would make the history pretty easy to follow. Especially if Phil stays with the colors etc.

Following Phil on FB I guess makes my comment more in line. Not really what you said.
For me I lost my mom on her bike she had my whole life. We rebuilt it but with a new style but kept the traits of her old bike still there. It is the coolest thing ever to see it so I am sided on this

In my opinion the only thing carrying the stigma of "never right" is the ego of the Ferrari community. That isn't a knock on you, so don't take it that way if you own one. Most salvage ferraris are a few expensive bolt on parts away from being factory original, and only Ferrari's ultra-inflated parts costs kept them from being repaired by insurance.

I agree, but if a survey is done and surveyor says boat is perfect, how can they not insure it?? When you try to insure a normal boat, the insurance companies think surveys are the end all be all when determining a boats value and condition. How could they just throw out a survey now in this situation?? They can’t have it both ways....

Well, it’s funny how insurance has become the topic of issue on this. I have not heard of companies not insuring boats do to damage. This boat was never salvaged and I purchased it with paperwork from the owner. The structural integrity of this boat is 98% perfect. It’s mere surface damage. Probably similar to the damage of the 36 OB skater that went over in Florida last year and tore the front end on. Or calatee that was already repaired and back on the water. Or rump shakers damage is repaired and back on the water. Insurance companies will insure, now if it comes apart due to wear and tear , they will decline payment due to previous repair... but they will cover it.
Needless to say my agent is on board with the project and has not told me it’s a bad idea (insurance stand point)
we we will be starting a thread in the skater section once we get it inside. Currently have to wrap up a 38 topgun resto and finish a windshield conversion on a 46 skater race boat so our hands are full for the next month and a half before we can start on it.
I encourage everyone to follow our business social
media , @ UPSTATE POWERBOAT because it’s much easier to post and follow along on there.
