Got 3 requests for histories with in 30 minutes of posting an ad. None would place a call to me. If don’t care enough to call, just ignore. Same for folks who offer to buy without coming to look. All scams. Talk to your bank about certified checks or echecks. Allow two weeks to “clear” .I have a Shamrock for sale. A couple of prospective buyers have requested a hull number history. I have nothing to hide, but should I be smelling something fishy here ?
You wouldn't know it from the boat history report. Salvage boats don't show up on there. The insurance companies are the only ones who know and they don't share the info. I learned this when I was looking to buy a hurricane damaged boat, but the salvage auctions were selling them for ridiculously (IMO) overpriced values. One of the reasons was that the flippers knew they would have a clean title to resell after slapping some bondo over the holes and pressure washing the interiors.Well, with all the hurricane activity in the south last couple yrs it was worth knowing it wasn't a sinker.
