is that the boat that was run off the Roper hwy by the road train? haven't seen that boat without the full cover on it but it was red and the damage is in the right area

Doesnt appear to be any signs of damage according to photos.. Although description says damage?
Have to inspect i guess.

you can see a crease in the RHS. it took a few looks to see it but I opened all the photos on the link and you can make it out. just had a look on the AFANT FB page as well. if you scroll down you will find details of the accident and see a picture of the Prado and the boat (albeit with cover on)

Oh yeah... Think your on the money there tubbs, cheers.

Closer zooming in, i can see the crease now. Was looking at photos on iphone before... cr.p!

how much do you's think it will go for?

Obvisouly depends on extent of damage...?

Saw a similar one go for 5 grand recently.

pretty sure ive seen this one sitting in this yard for a long time

On the money alright. Good spotting
Might bid $100

wheres the crease? cant spot it?

Yep it's the one from roper hiwayit was a mate shortys boat

Just under the yellow graphics.... Probably about a meter long?.

doesn't appear to be too bad hey? unless its twisted the entire hull i dont see why it would handle and different

in the top photo i thought it was just the sticker but thats the crease.

I went to pickles a couple of years ago to watch a boat from one of the Arnhem Barra Camps, it had been underwater for about 6 months or more, bare hull that needed a lot of polishing before repainting. I think that went for about 8 grand from memory?

Looks like it creased right on the seal deck line. Make a great creek boat if the hull goes sub 5k.

Secondhand 150 hp and trailer and you have great rig for 15-16k
