To me it looks like it's dead.... Can that really be saved?

£110,000 sounds a lot. I suspect 'proceed with utmost care' applies.

The history could be interesting!

Anything can be saved. Whether it's cost effective or not is another matter.

Is there such a thing as a write off in marine insurance?

Hmmm. Titanic must come pretty close, Kate Winslet (and Celine Dion) notwithstanding.

Its been discussed over on ybw, I recall the opinion there was that its worthless.

Perhaps my comment was a bit broad thinking!

I guess it's only the fibreglass hull/superstructure that's salvageable, although even that looks dodgy around the stern. I'm guessing everything else would need total strip out and replacement.

Maybe if you had a similar boat but had crashed it bow first into something, you could reshell it into this one!

It would be a big project,reading the article about it,it sat 110m down at the bottom of the Med for 6 months or so! It's about £100k overpriced.

linky?

Same boat? https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&a...

The rear looks the same, minus "Southampton".

[schuey]

That's the article I saw too,I think the rear shot is from a different angle hence why you can't see the Southampton sticker. Think it's just had a jet wash for the eBay add. Strange how it's ended up in Blackpool.

Still way too much IMHO. How much are those things new? £1m?

You could get a pristine ready to go 2010 T60 for around £500k give or take a few tens of thou either way on condition and spec. And by the time this one is refurbed, it will be quite a bit older. There is one down here for sale right now, 2007 asking £375k. This is what it would need to look like inside... A lot of specialist work. http://www.boatshop24.co.uk/motorboat/sealine-t60/...

Uneconomical IMO. 6 months @ 100m under the med. Everything would need pulling out from highest headlinings to bilges. All wires, instruments, electronics, mechanical items furniture and fittings to replace and then damage repair - back to the bare hull and start again. Certainly IME, everything to do with marine had an incomparable expense compared to land based items, a bit like wedding paraphernalia uplifts.

And then, the value going forward would be very questionable and would the smell really not be noticeable on a warm day from the hidden bit that could not be cleaned? It would be a brave soul to take that on.

I don't know anything about boats apart from a passing interest but my BiL who lives abroad does. Not economical to repair here in the UK but certainly do-able in other parts of the world where cheap labour rates would make it a lot more economically viable by his reckoning.
