Salvaged Nautiques?

[BP22]

What makes you think he's smoking in it?

If that thing hasn't been underwater, a new engine, prop, shaft etc, and the fiberglass repairs would be far less than the value of the boat, I would think. You'd have to get the thing for very little money though.

edit: that cigarette is the least of that boat's worries...

There is a tiny portion of the guy's hand in the picture of the back seat from inside the boat, and what looks like a cigarette in his hand. The least of that boat's worries, at this point I would say. How did you spot that?!

You're right...it is definitely the least of the boats worries...just adding insult to injury.

That 211 is pretty hammered, but if the price was right, it could be fun the bring something like that back to life. I saw that X-star also, it looks nice, I just wish it wasn't so red...

Interesting...anyone have a membership to salvage direct? I actually live in Dallas and I'm interested to go check out this boat. The problem is you can't check out the storage location unless you're a member and a membership is $150!

Anyone?

Thanks!

AS for titles, some states (like Alabama) don't title boats, so there is not a very good way to track "salvage boats" like totalled cars are tracked. This is where one must be very careful when buying.

I bought a 1996 Sport in 1998 for $12,500 that was wrecked by another Nautique, and my dealer completely fixed the gelcoat, windshield, seats, etc for $7500 and then I later sold it and disclosed the fact that the boat was wrecked and repaired. Otherwise, If I had not disclosed the repairs (I showed the buyer before and after photos) he might not have been able to tell, because my dealer did an outstanding job.

Easy repair on that 211. My 93SN was totalled by the Owner when he hit a rock jetty at about 20 mph. WAY more damage than the above 211. Someone should jump on that auction.
