    A Marlow??? Why do you think it was (sunk, caught fire, vandalized, wrecked, anything else) to begin with??

    I do not want the whole Hatt wreck, just some stuff.

    FWIW, speaking of Hatts on yachtsalvage, there is a 1989 74' Hatt there. It is a "donation" they are accepting bids. No good info about it, other that the engines were not running when hauled.

    Cool Re: 70 Hatteras Sinks

    FYI:

    Received a email from Brett. He's been researching the status of this boat.

    Chubb Insurance has denied the owners claim, he feels that it's headed for litigation.

    Have no additional information.

    The 74' is also on Yachtworld with a 135k ask, and open to offers. It says the bottom has been peeled, but it looks like a soda blast to me. The few pictures of the interior look likes somebody went paint crazy. But looks like it might be a very appealing project if you've got a broad skill set, and a big wallet.

    After that boat sits through the hard Michigan winter, unheated or winterized, with the passage of time, it will only be good for parts.

    My thoughts also, wondering how much water was left inside.

    What a way to totally ruin a boat, it's a shame.

    Re: 70 Hatteras Sinks

    It's the boat owners responsibility to preserve the asset or once an insurance claim is put in, the insurance company bears responsibility. To me the latter doesn't make sense.
    Was there a salvage claim in the mix/someone claiming it as their property. Always scary when you're in distress. Maritime law provides for that claim. I thought the insurance company mentioned, Chubb, had a reputation for paying claims more than denying them. The yard that has it, gets paid by who when there is a "no pay"?

    Maybe some parts off of the engines.
    Keep me up.


    Oh that 74 Hatt on Y Salvage; $135k can take it per Y world.

    Re: 70 Hatteras Sinks

    I have never understood the guys who buy a salvage boat for $100k and put 5 years of their life and $500k into it just to have a $500k boat when they’re done. Not only do you not save any money, you will never get back the years of your time you put into the project that you could have been out boating if you’d just bought one in good shape off YachtWorld. That low price on the salvage listings is like kryptonite to some people, they just can’t overcome it.

    Dreamers visit a DYI yard and it’s full of them. Usually after a couple years they get discouraged and the project languishes for years.
