Salvaged boats

[Scott Bukolt]

Where does one go to learn about the industry that must exist.Each of the thousands of wrecked or partially wrecked boats must get parted out, sold to refurb handymen or others. How does this work? Anyone know the process, companies, contacts, etc.Not knowing any better, one with time on ones hands could head south with a flatbed in search of one heck of deal on a fixer-upper...sb
