      I agree. Maybe 2k for the trailer.

        Well at least it says the trailer is included. Remember what happened to the guy from Canada?

        They left a few valuable parts on it. Like the pull out cleats and gas cap. I could use one of the screws for the filler cap chains and one of the rubber mount covers on the clarion...but I'm assuming the clarion is long gone.

        Strange they left the prop and shaft on it.

        Finally, I didn't realize how ugly 210s were w/o towers.

          I sure hope insurance took care of the owner. The LOW BUY IT NOW PRICE looks high!

              The trailer is worth about $2k and the prop about $300. How do they figure it is worth even 20% of their Buy it Now? That makes me sick to my stomach just looking at it. If anyone see's 210 interior or motor/tranny for sale should be suspicious.

                  the only thing left is the hull (other than the trailer and some nice wheels), and who wants a hull that someone took a sawzall to? I can't figure out why a thief would even do that. I'm sure the amp that was probably located there came out just fine from the inside of the hull, and cutting those two lines did nothing but waste time and ruin the hull. I think this was a hate crime!

                    The prop and rudder are proly worth 500-600 used. Thieves should have brought a prop puller

                      Do they sell the parts overseas or something? I don't know how one would sell those parts in the states without getting pinched, as we're a niche group. I hope the thieves smoke a turd in haitties for this!

                        The cut into the hull like that - if it goes all the way through, just destroys this thing. I don't think it is worth nearly that 14k. For what? 14k for a junked hull and at least as much to get it in running shape as buying a non-salvage 210? Dumb.

                        I think 10k TOPS and the first thing that you'd need to do is send it back to the factory unless I am overthinking this. I know there are some good fiberglass people out there but that is a SERIOUSLY deliberately cruel and violent thing to do, cutting it in the middle like that. Take the engine, stereo etc, yeah I guess i get it. But to slice the side of the hull with a chain saw.... that's deliberately cruel and violent. It almost reads as if the perpetrator of the crime hated the owner. It's true that this isn't for the faint of heart.

                          Fixing the hull would be easy. Finding all the pieces and then putting the rest of the boat back together would be very expensive and time consuming.

                            That's what I was thinking....but wasn't going to say it due to fear of getting blasted.

                            My dad's neighbor had his outboard stolen. The guys used a saw and cut the outboard out of the transom. Truly unbelievable ...but I saw the remains with my own eyes.

                            He had the transom fixed and a new outboard put on.

                            I know transoms on flats fishing boats are not as elegant as the side of a 210, but it is just fiberglass.

                            The boat in the picture just needs to be parted out and then destroyed. I'm still interested in that filler chain screw.

                              I was thinking something similar as far as fixing the hull. I saw a friend's MC get t-boned, leaving a gaping hole in the side, which was repaired to lool like new again.
