According to an estimate by the Boat Owner’s Association of the United States (BoatUS), over 65,000 recreational boats were damaged or lost as a result of Hurricane Sandy. BoatUS also estimates that the amount of damage caused to recreational boats is $650 million, making the late-October storm the single-largest industry loss since the organization began keeping track in 1966.

Yeah, the boats in the illustration look like a fish kill! It was horrible! My boat was up 11' off on the lip of the parking lot overlooking the water at the marina and we had a 10' surge. Almost lost it. The water was coming in from west to east winds @ 70-80 mph. It passed us by on the way to eastern CT, NY and NJ. You know the rest of the story.

Hey Nathan? Sound familiar? Is this is Gulf weather losing its way?

texas would welcome a hurricane at this point to pull us out of this drought. Lake travis is over 60' low.

So, you'd think the used parts market would see a drop in price with the increase in supply.....
How about a nice used Alpha for $ 250
