This looks like a lot of work! That hole in the port side looks ominous. The deck looks to have lifted completely from the bow. Damn good steal for salvage parts probably, I wonder how long it sat under water for? (it looks to have sank stern first into river mud or bay silt)

Boy, they could have at least power-washed to the drives/transom so you could see what you got. It looks like someone buried it in the back yard for safe-keeping from their older brother!

I hate hidden fees on what should be a straightforward salvage sale! Why can't they just list the fee's straight up?
You know what they say, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is!!
