Good deal I called but in my mind about 50k to put back together unless you own a marina?Engines were pickled but not started figure rebuild.

I know a little about it...

It was for sale (brokered) for years. Rarely moved til the day it sank. Oh yeah, there was alot of "damage control" done on the "accident". My guess is that it was HEAVILY insured that day.



Edit: If anyone is interested in it and has questions about it, I have the number of the "broker"/marina that had it for years and the marina that salvaged the boat after it sank.

Well... it hit a rock dyke at a high rate of speed, for some reason it was travelling outside the channel markers (which everyone that boats there knows to stay in between them unless you absolutely know where your going), the boating community in the area is VERY tightly knit, and the whole "accident" was quickly hushed.
