Finding and Assessing Damaged Boats for Sale

Below are a few quick links I've used to find damaged boats for sale online. When you find a damage boat you'll definately want an accurate assessement of the damage.

As a word to the wise many damaged boats for sale will have sustained considerable damage that may not be so obvious, that is unless a professional surveyor assesses it's condition.

The problem is that boat destruction is often under estimated or even goes unnoticed. A qualified marine surveyor although costs a few hundred up front, could ultimately save you thousands. Along with that you'll want to make a good judgment of the vessel's real value anyway. Surveyors will help you get a full assessment of the detruction, an estimated cost of repair, and then finally what you can reasonably expect the final value to be once the repairs are finished.

Having said that below are several legitimate links finding a damaged boat:

YachtSalvage.com now based out of Warwick, RI specializes in purchasing and sales of salvage boats, yachts, and parts under unusual sales circumstances.

AuctionsPass.com offers a huge auction listing database of regional, statewide, and local auctions that are routinely forced to liquidate police seized and damaged assets including damaged boats for sale.

USAuctions.com sells hurricane destroyed boats, distressed, salvaged, and liquidation boats and vessels via. online auctions.

YachtForums.com is a friendly discussion forum whereby registered users share tips, advice, and other helpful info. regarding yachts and how and where to find damaged yachts for sale.

As I mentioned above you'll want to be sure to get an accurate, pre-purchase assessment from a qualified surveyor. Along with that know what to expect cost wise for those repairs before purchasing any damaged boat.

A credible, experienced repairman will know and offer advice. Take special care if the vessel is older or has sustained severe hull or interior damage to the point that such damage would negates any potential gain.
