Best ways of finding yacht salvage boats for sale, ideal theft recovery boats for sale.

Salvage boats for sale are a welcome choice for anyone who does not mind paying repairs to get the boat back to its normal condition. There are times when things do not go as planned and boats are damaged, but it is still possible to salvage them. Yacht Salvage is often sold at very low prices because at most times, the owners are simply trying to get rid of them.

Insurance companies and owners usually give hurricane damaged boats for sale and theft recovery boats for sale at Salvage boat auction in the coastal areas after major storms or other natural disasters take place. A good example of such an occurrence is hurricane Dorian that hit the Bahamas. This is an event that had a great impact on the properties that had been set up in the area and this included boats and houses. The sales skyrocket after the hurricane as the residents counted their losses.

Ideal wrecked boats for sale

Most people who choose to buy salvage boats for sale usually take them to people with skills to do the repairs. In some cases, the people who make the purchases already have the resources and the skills that are needed to make the boat as good as new if not better.

There are abundantly used theft recovery boats for sale across the nation that may be willing to pay bottom-dollar for an old boat if they think it might hold potential for a refit and then resale. If you can pull your boat to them on its own trailer you stand a fair chance of getting a buck or two for that old rig – after all, if you can bring it to them, that means the trailer’s roadworthy and that alone has some value.

Deciding on the best yacht salvage boats for sale

The first thing to do after you find hurricane salvage boats for sale is to find out the kind of condition that the boat was in before the disaster hit. When you have an idea about the kind of condition, the boat was in before the loss occurred. It is very important. You need to think of it as a boat that does not have any damage. This helps you determine whether it was maintained well and whether there were any other damages that existed.

You need to ask all the necessary questions before buying salvage yachts for sale, theft recovery boats for sale, or any other old boat. You need to pick a boat that can be fixed without necessarily working on the entire boat. This makes it possible to know the pre-loss value of the boat and therefore you may place realistic offers or bid.

Considering damage

After successfully determining the pre-loss condition of the Yacht Salvage, you now have to consider the extent of the damage caused by the event that took place. This helps you evaluate the damages and establish what will be needed for the repairs. When you are considering the damage, you should overestimate it.

Types of damage that you can find on salvage boats for sale

You need to understand the damages that could possibly occur to a boat during the disaster. There are different types and they include:

In the case of Submersion, hurricane damaged  boats for sale have the most damage. Submersion damages the entire boat. Electronics equipment may be likely to tumble down by the water, but there is a possibility of saving the  boat engine  if it is taken care of instantly. This time it may be too late to prevent any actual damage and there are chances of hidden damage.

Dock rash happens when the boat rubs against other flutters, pilings, and the docks. Fixing can be done in some cases, but you may have to do some work to access some areas.  You will need some skills repairing this kind of wrecked boats for sale .

Wind damage

Repairable boats could also be wind damaged and this can be noted on the sails and canvas that could be shredded. Structural damage can also be caused by wind. The mast could also fall and cause damage to the deck and the top of the cabin. When there is wind rain, then more damage could occur inside the boat.

Salvage damage

Another thing you could notice when you buy salvage boats for sale. This happens as the container is being recovered. This is because the process could involve considerable stress and strains of drawing the boat from the water and into a vehicle for transport

This is also common and causes damage to the gear and fittings underwater. You may have to check the propeller shafts, rudders, keels, and props. You need to carefully inspect the insides of the boat and ensure you look at the steering system as well.

It is possible for hurricane salvage boats for sale to have one or more of the above damages. This is why a buyer needs to get as much information as possible about the boat that they are buying. You can look for an expert opinion before boat purchase .

Damage on salvage boats/wrecked boats for sale

Buying a boat with known damage is usually forthright, but the buyer needs to be prepared for unknown damage which may reveal itself during the course of repair. I suggest finding a reputable boatyard to affect the repairs. Documentation that the repair was done professionally should settle any prospective buyer’s concerns down the road when it is time to resell. I also suggest having a contingency budget for those unknowns as part of your overall approach. Buying a storm-damaged boat will take some risk, effort, and investment, but can result in keeping a good boat.

How The Moorings Is Repairing Hurricane Damaged Boats

Boat Buying Process

Irma-Repair-Hero-3-1

As many of you know, Hurricane IRMA was the most powerful Atlantic hurricane in recorded history. This Category 5 storm had winds in excess of 180 mph and ripped through the Moorings & Sunsail bases in Oyster Pond, St. Martin and Tortola, B.V.I. leaving devastation in its path. 

Catamarans and monohulls lost to Hurricanes

We finally got the numbers and facts together and thought that it would be a good time to share with our community to make sure that everyone is informed and to set the record straight.

In total the Moorings and Sunsail fleets had 179 yachts and counting that were deemed a Constructive Total Loss (CTL) or Total Loss (TL) by our underwriter.  All of these CTL/TL’s were sold off by our underwriter, and The Moorings/Sunsail Brokerage had nothing to do with these sales.  The rest of the fleet was deemed “Repairable” so the long task started to find quality GRP workers from around the globe to fly into Tortola to begin the repair process. 

Repairing the yachts and opening for business

The Moorings & Sunsail own the boatyard called Tortola Yacht Services (TYS) which is directly across from the base.  Because of this we were able to get the repair process started quickly, and The Moorings quickly reopened the Tortola charter operations a mere three months after the storm.  Before operations started to repair the boats they opted to employ a 3 rd party surveyor to do an initial damage assessment, track the repair process, and then do a final sign off once completed.  Since the storm, the Tortola base has employed over 153 experienced and skilled contractors with a range of expertise from GRP, to joinery, to mechanical to work through the yachts repair schedules, and to date they have repaired 200+ yachts and counting.

quality-repair

Safety and superior service 

During the repair process we employed third party accredited marine surveyors to be involved with the repair from start to finish.  Also, the equipment on these yachts is being replaced with new equipment where needed even on yachts leaving the fleet.  Because of our direct relationship with the builders we were able to jointly plan a repair methodology and put together a repair schedule.  The Leopard Catamarans have been repaired to Robertson and Caine’s factory spec, and the same goes for the Beneteau & Jeanneau monohulls.  In many cases they are now stronger than they were when new, and no shortcuts were taken along the way.  When the boats were hauled if there was more damage found than initially was noted a surveyor was called out to re-assess, and then the repair methodology confirmed and then the work continued on.   Since the Moorings/Sunsail bases have vast resources we were able to take on a project of this size that still continues to this day. 

repair-yard

What does repairable mean for warranty?

As we start to see some of these “Repairable” boats come back to the market we anticipate to have to fight against very low prices on the refurbished CTL/TL Leopards which will impact the resale value of other “Repairable” boats as well as boats that were never effected by the hurricane.  I had a chance to speak to Peter Robertson with Robertson and Caine regarding their obligation concerning the CTL/TL’s that are being sold off by our underwriter and this was his response.

“We have no obligation to vessels classified as total loss or constructive total loss.  The warranty is void and all claims must be referred to the repair contractor.  The declaration of conformity (CE Certificate) is only valid for the original sale between R&C and the first owner.

Besides this, when we get inquiries from people who have either bought or are planning to buy these CTL/TL boats we always point out to them that they are buying a boat deemed to be irreparable into a good and seaworthy state.  We refuse to give them repair advice, procedures, etc. and also don’t give them any technical drawings or other advice.  The only thing we’ll give them is a copy of the original Owner’s Manual as long as the client shows a copy of the BOS for that HIN in their name.  We also are able to sell them certain spare parts that aren’t readily available e.g. stainless steel parts specific for Leopards is the most common request.”

Research your yacht before you buy it

buffing-boat

What the Marina Manufacturers Association says

Recently Robertson and Caine’s Quality Assurance Manager, Dieter Roux, released the advisory below after meeting with both the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and CE bodies. 

Vessels Classified as Total Loss or Constructive Total Loss:

All Leopard Catamarans manufactured by Robertson and Caine (Pty) Ltd are built to the standards set out in the relevant Recreational Craft Directive and US Coast Guard regulations stipulated in the ABYC Standards. Vessels are issued with EC Type Examination Certificates by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI) and, since 2010, a NMMA Certificate.

Builders Certificates and Declarations of Conformity are issued to every vessel and is only valid at the moment the vessel is sold to the first retail purchaser in ex-factory condition.  Vessels classified as total loss or constructive total loss may no longer conform to the Recreational Craft (EC Type Examination Certificate) and/or US Coast Guard regulations (NMMA Certificate).

Robertson and Caine (Pty) Ltd or any representative cannot be held liable for any claims against a vessel classified as total loss or constructive total loss by an insurer.  Vessels classified as total loss or constructive total loss retain the registered hull identification number (HIN) and the manufacturers identification code (MIC).

Have a purchase plan and cash

Another concern with these boats is that most banks will not loan on a boat with any significant repaired hurricane damage, much less a CTL/TL.  Therefore, any potential buyer would most likely have to pay for the yacht in cash.  Plus all yacht insurance policies have the implied warranty that the vessel must remain seaworthy at all times.  If an owner knows that a vessel was previously a CTL/TL then they must declare this to a carrier. If the carrier decides they want to accept the risk knowing that the vessel was a CTL/TL, then they should be covered.  Unfortunately, most carriers won’t accept these risks.  The danger is that someone might buy one of these boats and not know that the vessel was a CTL/TL prior to the repairs.  Subsequently, if the new owners have a claim large enough the carrier would then do their research and find out that the vessel was a CTL/TL and they could declare that the vessel was not seaworthy which would void the policy.

The Moorings Brokerage is always here to help you

In the end we all just want to enjoy a day on the water without having to deal with boat problems.  Though it’s inevitable that every boat has its own kinks that need to be worked out, we want to make sure that both buyers and brokers do their due diligence prior to purchase so their mind can be at ease.  We recommend all buyer’s work with a licensed and bonded Yacht Broker as well as a reputable surveyor for their sale/purchase transaction.  The catamaran community is a very small community, so if you work with a broker in the know they will look after your best interest and guide you through the waves of purchasing a boat.  As always, if we can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.

"Every time we drove by, there’s more and more boats out here, more and more boats," said Christopher Beucher, who is interested in purchasing one.

Everything About Buying Hurricane-Damaged Boats

  • October 26, 2022
  • 7 minute read

Many people dream of buying a powerful boat. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as purchasing a car. For example, there are a bunch of nuances to be familiar with. It is because vessels, including salvage boats, are considered more complicated and not affordable for everyone. That is why not many of us are aware of all there is to know before buying hurricane-damaged boats. Such questions as which types and configurations of boats to choose arise in a potential buyer’s head.

One of the most relevant options is whether to buy a hurricane-damaged boat. There are a few good reasons. We suggest storm-damaged boats as a more affordable way to start with since a vessel owner will feel more comfortable and will be able to learn all the technical and organizational nuances in this case.

In any situation, we should investigate the subject and determine what is important to know before making a purchase decision. With a ClearVIN VIN Check Report , you will unlock the mysteries of buying hurricane-damaged boats! In this article, we will carefully guide you through the topic of used vessels and boat auctions.

What Should You Know Before Purchasing a Salvage Boat?

hurricane damaged catamarans for sale

Buying a hurricane-damaged boat is a serious and relatively expensive undertaking that needs to be carefully considered before proceeding. What type of salvage boat is best to buy based on the potential buyer’s preferences? What are the main points to know about before purchasing? The ClearVin experts are here to help you find the answers.

Categories of Hurricane-Damaged Boats for Sale

When answering the question of which hurricane-damaged boat type to buy, the time-tested and most relevant options, based on our experience, are the cabin boat, open deck boat, or one with an outboard engine. The last one is the easiest to drive since outboard motors are not too complicated to operate, and they provide simple access to various elements that are useful when you need to change an engine part or repair it.

If this will be your first hurricane-damaged boat from the second-hand market or boat auction, then it is worth thinking about more frequent servicing. The failure of a stationary engine may require greater financial outlays, and it should be noted that it will be a bit more difficult to operate.

However, one important point is that the engine propeller will constantly be submerged in the water. That is why this element of a salvage boat must be checked very carefully before buying hurricane-damaged boats, because it is the most vulnerable to damage. We should also remember that used vessels often sail in salty sea waters where the problem of corrosion of metal or aluminum parts of the watercraft engine, as well as the electronic system damage, will progress much faster.

Pay Attention to the Engine

The choice of your perfect salvage boat also depends on what skills and experience you possess. If none, the best option is to pick a storm-damaged boat with an engine that has less than 10 kW of power. You can operate such a vessel inland, keeping in mind the designated quiet zones where speedboats are not permitted.

If you have a helmsman certificate for a motorboat, you can drive a vessel with an engine power of up to 60 kW, both inland and at sea. A senior motorboat helmsman can drive a hurricane-damaged boat of any engine power, but at sea it should not exceed 40 feet.

We at ClearVin adhere to the opinion that it is a good idea to choose the salvage boat model when buying your first personal watercraft. There are a few reasons for it. Foremost, it will be much cheaper and more appropriate for learning and practice when gaining such important experience. Once we’ve learned how to operate a hurricane-damaged boat, there’s nothing stopping us from replacing it with a new one that meets our performance and financial requirements.

Most Popular Motorboat Brands

Among the most popular personal watercraft brands, we can distinguish Four Winns, Glastron, and Scarab. All of them offer motorboats of the highest quality, including models awarded in prestigious competitions. You can find these brands’ representatives at different and best boat auctions, including ones from the well-known and trusted Copart broker AutoBidMaster , with a great salvage boat inventory . As a result, many years of experience by the Four Winns and Glastron watercraft manufacturers ensure component reliability and high parameters. The Scarab brand, which offers very powerful engines in its boats, is not inferior to them.

Regardless of which model and brand of a hurricane-damaged boat you choose, it is worth buying only when you are sure of the quality and have had a consultation from an expert. It will ensure that you pick the best option of a salvage boat that meets your requirements.

Which Type of Hurricane-Damaged Boat to Choose?

hurricane damaged catamarans for sale

Buying a salvage boat, either via boat auctions or from the second-hand market, is a considerable investment. That is why it is best to think carefully about this matter and consider which hurricane-damaged sailboats for sale will be the best choice for your needs and capabilities. The task can seem complicated since there are many personal watercraft types to choose from. What are they characterized by? Let’s sort everything out and define the most popular types of salvage boats.

Open-Deck Watercraft

One of the most popular types of salvage boats is open-deck vessels. It is an excellent choice for everyday activities and relaxing water journeys. Going in such a boat requires good weather conditions because there is no place, for example, to shelter from the rain. Open deck boats are usually made of laminates, wood, or aluminum. That is why you need to pay close attention to the vessel’s body quality based on your driving skills and the environment where you are going to use your salvage boat.

Cabin Vessel 

However, if you are looking for a comfortable family salvage boat, you should consider buying the cabin configuration. As the name suggests, this type of vessel has comfortable cabins, so you can take your whole family on day trips without worrying that someone will have nowhere to rest. It is also worth knowing the specifications and features of such salvage boats for sale and determining what you are looking for: a one-day trip watercraft or maybe another model that will allow you to shelter in it for at least a few days.

Fishing and RIV Configurations

There are also special fishing salvage boats for sale. They have a comfortable cabin and a high wheelhouse, which makes operating them comfortable. Many such hurricane-damaged boats have special handles for fishing equipment.

Hybrid RIB vessels, or Rigid Inflatable Boats, are also popular. They are characterized by great lightness and maneuverability. Such a type of salvage boat is perfect for those who like adrenaline. Keep in mind that they are not the most comfortable ones, and driving them may turn out to be difficult even for a professional.

You can also find such an option as a hurricane jet ski for sale. This type of personal watercraft is the most appropriate for those enthusiasts who are keen on powersports. Experts distinguish a few configurations of jet skis, for instance, the rec-lite and performance models, as well as recreational and luxury water scooters. Remember that this type of personal watercraft requires good practical skills and physical condition from a driver.

It doesn’t matter what type of storm-damaged boat you choose, it’s important to examine and evaluate the vessel’s condition. The Craft Identification Number will help you with it.

Craft Identification Number: What Is This?

hurricane damaged catamarans for sale

Each vessel must be tagged with a unique code called a Craft Identification Number (CIN), or you can also come across the HIN abbreviation. It helps identify the watercraft manufacturer, plant location, and the date of unit production. The mentioned number is compared to the identical VIN combination for cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles. The CIN code must include 14 characters and contain the following information:

  • country of manufacture;
  • unique serial number;
  • month and year of production, or model year.

The CIN code is located in two places. One is on or near the transom on the right-hand side, near the top. It can also be found at the stern. On inflatable boats, you will notice the number on the rigid aft cross member or on the console assembly. The second CIN is placed in the hidden part of the unit as a security check.

The ISO 10087:2022 standard provides detailed information on these requirements.

In the article, we have reviewed the key points to be familiar with when buying hurricane-damaged boats. Our simple guidelines will help you sort everything out concerning salvage boats for sale.

If you are interested in buying a hurricane-damaged boat, it is worth considering buying a cabin or an open-deck vessel. Keep in mind that personal watercraft with outboard engines will also be a good choice, as they are the easiest to use. After a driver gets into practice, they can then decide on more powerful salvage boat models.
