Subject: Bass Pro Tracker Targa 18'

On a used boat auction site, they have a 18' Targa, 2003 model with a 175 Merc. The boat has damage to the hull. It is scratches and has some dents. They describe them as "small." Due to the boat being near Macon Georgia, I cannot inspect the boat myself. Does anyone have any experience with a Targa, and more specifically, how you can deal with scratches and dents.

This boat is an insurance company claim. Evidently, from what the site states, the boat hit an underwater object. The hull is not punctured, the lower unit of the motor is not damaged.

What do you think?

If it's for sale by an insuarnce company, I would suspect that the previously owner filed a claim and the insurance company totaled out the boat. I would stay away from the boat unless I or someone I trusted could personally do a total inspection on both the hull and the motor.

The boat may have been submerged for a few days but I would guess that there is more than a few scratches and some dents in order for an insurance company to total it.

You also said that the insurance co. stated that the boat hit an underwater object. Was there a hole in the hull and it has been repaired??

Did the stringers seperate from the hull?? That may have happened without putting a hole in the hull. If so., you can't tell unless the floor of the boat is removed.

Be careful with this one

Thanks. Just needed to verify. If it sounds too good to be true.... you know the rest.

Thanks
