i met a guy that owns some property that had once been a storage yard there r abt 10 boats there...it looks like everything has sat there for quite sometime...he has looked into how to aquire salvage titles etc and he told me to take what i want...there is a 1974 F36 at first i was told it was an f32 but after looking at pics online i think its a f36...b/c the bow deck is flat...no hump/step down...and there r bunks...anyways...it has been repowered with 454 fresh water cooled..the cooling tanks have been stolen..the motors r not seized but i dont know their condition...the bow deck is solid..the aft deck has some punky spots but does not need immediate replacement...she has newer plastic gas tanks....the center salon big bow window is smashed out...all the carpets have been ripped out..some wood rot..the exterior of the salon windos have been spray painted..and there is "bob loves sally' spray painted on the side of the hull...the swin platform in missing....the hull sounded out ok.. no genset...anyways what do u guys think?it will cost $400 to have it transported...i have to move on this and any info would be great....thanks

If you can get a title I would go for it. Without a title its worth nothing and I would steer clear . you may be able to find the pervious owner . is the boat registered with the state ( Numbers on the Bow )or is it documented ? what is the boats name ? if doc. I may be able to get the info for you .

And that is a very big BUT. Work your ass off and the BUT remains.
