Need advice, what do I do.....I think the boat is actually a write-off.
Do you sell motor's, genset etc.... or spend the cash to try and fix it ?
It's 5 years old ...... I am looking at losing A$200,000....
I look at the one picture and agree with what has been said already, I have an 03 268 and have not seen anything even close to the shotty glass work on my boat. Could it be the previous owner ripped the transom off and had it repaired (I used that term loosely) and the unloaded it as fast as he could?? A non invasive survey would have moisture readings taken and a hammer test for delamination, which it would have probably passed.
It seems to me that if there was that sort of damage it should have been disclosed at the time of sale. If there was some type of undisclosed damage, I think you best bet is to go back to the guy you bought it from.
Lastly, I would get a good fiberglass repair guy in and get an estimate to repair the damage before you make the decision to write it off, even if it cost 25 -30k to repair, that is a hell of alot better than 200k.
