    I kept waiting to see the engines come out, but it didn't see anything except a thin plastic skin and some cardboard.

    I bet the engines were gone before she floated up on shore. Its a shame someone might have been able to repower their mini with them.

    It looked too easy to "disassemble" for my comfort

    That is crazy?! I hope the engines were gone, some of those SR's have the slick QSM's for power...

    Seems like a lot of components could have been saved... Such is life~

    Notice the electronics on the flybridge roof managed to "vanish" by the second photo before the heavy equipment even arrived. Still lots of good parts trashed. Bummer!

    A couple years a very nice 33 Bertram ran up on the beach on the east coast. It was sad to see the excavator smash that one up !!

    It is spooky how quickly a pile of rubbel can be made out of what was recently a nice boat in a matter of moments. We saw so many vessels after Hurricane Katrina that were abandoned, partially sunk, haphazardly salvaged by unscrupulous individuals, etc. Several are still lingering around in my area and nobody will take blame and claim them.

    Amazingly almost none of the boats that made it to the insurance yards before auction still had ANY electronics left on them! I bet there was a big rush of used marine electronics showing up on ebay during the months right after the storm. Marine luting was in full swing. Pretty scary stuff! I was locked and loaded on board, ready for any uninvited visitors!
