I posted a few months ago how my TI was totaled in a car accident and looks like I am getting close to settling out, but part of that would be determining salvage value of the remaining boat.  I am planning on transferring the seats and drives to a new boat so the remaining would be:

- Main hull - Has a crack in the transom area that could probably be made water tight, but I wouldn't trust to be solid with the forces from the rudder due to sailing, but everyone's risk tolerance is different I suppose. 
- Intact Left Ama/akas
- Broken Right ama/akas - Ama not water tight (cracks where the akas go in), akas are sheared and essentially scrap
- Sail and mast - In good condition

I am thinking there is probably more value in stripping the hull and selling parts, but gauging to see if anyone thinks someone would take a flier on the whole thing as an adventurous project.  Would probably start at $1200 or so for the full boat and see where things went.
