Now I am asking this question out of pure ignorance.
Say you have a boat that is damaged during a hurricane. You contact your Insurance Company and they assess the boat is a total loss. What happens to the boat now? Does the Insurance Company haul it away, like if your car was a total loss? Or are you responsible for hauling it off to be destroyed?
The reason I ask is because after two hurricanes, there will be lots of boats for sale. Some are considered a total loss but outside they may appear undamaged. This, we know, has happened many times.
Thoughts? Caveat Emptor?
