I spotted an aluminium boat washed up on the beach while I was out fishing, so I went in for a closer look.

    my family cabin in Minnesota growing-up had an island across the way with big old trees. Every flood season the big old trees would catch all kinds of things from up river. boats, canoe paddles, even an entire house one year. as a kid it was great fun in the spring to canoe over and look for treasure. Last word I had, one flood season the whole island got washed a couple of miles down river.

    Nice find there mate , useful little tender with a bit of attention and a tidy up. That little Suzuki outboard would probably stand a gudgeon pin and set of rings but as simple as they are, it most likely doesn’t need a lot and the bits are fairly easy to find. As to the ownership of the vessel, I imagine the insurance company wouldn’t want to spend anymore time and money retrieving it but to head off any legal issues it would be best to inform them and let them clear it. It owes you very little to date but it’d be a shame to Chuck a few quid at it and have some junior arsehole from an insurance company smugly claim it back. Idyllic is the word that springs to mind looking at that beautiful piece of water. With the sun out and a hook in the water you’d be hard pressed to find better anywhere! Those mussels look fantastic, bet they’re great steamed with a little herbs and butter, nice fresh bread and a glass of your favourite cool beverage and bugger! What more could a bloke need ? Sod the rest of the world, let em do without you for an hour or two eh ?

    Careful the reason why the guy didn't want the boat back is simple. Its no longer his boat once the Insurance company pays out. If he took it back he would have to pay the Insurance company for it. So in that kind of situation its always best to phone the old fuzz.

    I’ve seen people coat the inside with some truck bedliner to help with some of those leaks. I’ve seen mixed results, but I think that comes down the level of prep work to make it stick. The bedliner is usually some pretty tough stuff. Great score and a very cool little boat! I would almost thing for some slow trolling and checking for mussels and traps the back troll outboard may be better than front controls.

    Hey Marty; I didn't take the time to check if someone else already said this, but having experienced the same "tell tale" issue, there's one thing to try first which has saved me time/$ on more than once occasion. Namely, insert 20-30lb test fishing line into the opening while it's running-if it's just a clog [which it usually is], it'll start clearing itself right away. God bless.

    If the original owner has claimed the insurance then they haven't got the legal authority to give it away to you. They may say that "they don't want it back" but it's still property of their Insurance company until they deed it to you. Don't put any more effort into repairing it until you report it to police and get the insurance to waive all claims to it. Remarkable place you live in, m8.

    Your correct that the insurer should have been notified of the recovery ( I have 18 yrs Insurance claims experience ) but there is a reward for the party that makes the salvage. (Marty) but that would be made by the insurance company & not necessarily by the boat owner. The language of the policy will give the details. The owner of the boat may have violated his contract with his insurance carrier & his policy could be terminated. Granted the boats a piece of crap & this accident could have been staged by the owner to get a new replacement on the Insurance carriers dime. Who ties a mooring with thin cotton rope? Found a NL article to back up my concerns : astrolabesailing.com/2016/02/14/all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-salvage/

    I'd think it's similar to cars: The insurance paying you when the boat gets lost or stolen, probably isn't the same as the obligate insurace you need in case you hurt someone else or damage someone else's property with your boat. The later one is obligate, while the former one is optional.
