Finding and Assessing Damaged Boats for SaleBelow 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 a semi accurate assessment of the damage before proceeding. 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. Often times boat destruction is under estimated or even goes unnoticed. A qualified marine surveyor that costs a few hundred bucks up front, could ultimately save you thousands. Along with that you'll want to make a good judgment of the vessel's finished value anyway. That's were these guys are worth the nickel.. They'll you realize an unbiased assessment of the destruction, 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: BoatAuctionsDirect.com offers its members a resource that frequently aggregates auctioned or salvaged boats, pwc's, rv's, atv's, motorcycles, and marine equipment resources. Within their salvage sources directory are hurricane or insurance damaged boats for sale. Once all the nationwide lender, Gov't, Online, and "must sell" sources are compiled there are organized by state for easy access. Canada is also included in the mix as well. This is a great value for the cost. This source however, (if it hasn't already) is moving to a recurring monthly membership instead of a one-time, lifetime access fee. 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 broad spectrum of assets via. thier auction database. Items can be located by region, state, and locally as well. These sources will routinely be forced to liquidate police seized and damaged assets. 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.
