Even for 9 grand what are you getting?

Sweet you get some fenders and a few life vests..??? They also stole the prop. Now how can that be a clean title?

[jester]

I also have to think who does this seller think he is. I mean 9K for something that will not float of 15K for something that looks like they wanted to get a wheel chair lift put into. It is sad to see two nice boats like this. Let them die in peace.

with the correct craft why would the side have two cuts vertically, even if it was a theft recovery.. what was the point?

Really I thought when something was totalled out or insurance it went to the scrap yard to RIP.

The nautique looks like someone decided to have fun with a sawzall

Bu why bother.

the wakesetter isn't even parts salvageable, it's trash

As an insurance adjuster my first thought is that it's an inside job. Cut the hull to se sure that it is not repaired. It takes a lot of damage to total an expensive boat. Making it unsafe to repair solves the repair vs replace dilemma for the insurance company. No reason for a thief to cut it in that location.

Insurance company sell the salvage of total loss vehicles at auction to the highest bidder. Sometimes just the title is worth $$$$. A not so honest person can use the clean title and find a stolen boat or prior total. A little work and you now have a stolen boat with an altered hull ID with a clean title.

Ok I am jaded.

The trailer and maybe the engine is it. Looks like someone tried to save on insurance by not having any.
