[/quote] totalled? lol, no. The electronics will not cost NEARLY as much as that hull. From the looks of it, that was at the shipyard / harbor… I’m sure it wasn’t deep enough to let a $million+ boat sit on the floor. Expensive oops? fuck yeah. ---

that boat is more like 3-4mil+ it can be salvaged but the work is extensive. my dads got a 40ft sportfish. It makes me nervous to see it up on the lift when it gets taken out of the water for the winter. edit: im curious to know if a strap or hook failed, or if a strap slipped off the bottom of the boat ---

Notice the shrink wrap on the seats. That thing was BRAND NEW. Doh. And +1 for not totaled, but real expensive. That’s not some little bowrider. You’re talking flat screens, DVD’s, leather everywhere, electronics in places that should NEVER see water, so they’re not waterproof etc etc. ---

theyre not just gonna send a 4million dollar boat to get crushed tho. that thing will most likely be sent back to the factory and be rebuilt. Chances are they will tear down the whole boat - Seperate the Hull, Clean it out, put that back together - rebuild all mechanical items(motors, steering, fuel tanks, etc…) - new interior - new electronics n other misc. items ---
