Sorry to hear about the accident but glad you're ok.

I'd be interested in the K-Planes as well for my Formlua 292.

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.

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.

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.

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.
