Totaled in Florida

[lobo]

Hello to all, was wondering if anyone knows what a salvage title means as far as resale and insurance purposes? Rascal is a 31 FBC., and was involved in the storm Milton. She had a fiberglass hard top, aluminum frame, the usual. it was taken off by the storm , no damage to the hull at all. they totaled the boat. I can purchase the boat back from them, but I'm not sure what a salvage title means . I want to repair the boat, but what good is it if I can't insure it. Thanks in advance. Russ-Rascal

Russell,

I would think that you could insure the boat with a survey after the repairs are made. I will tell you its difficult and costly to insure older boats in the current market though.

Boats are not like cars - Just get a Survey and you should be good to go.
