I reckon in the hurricane damaged areas they are swamped with damaged boats (no pun intended) and are trying to get them moved out as quickly as possible.
If a fellow was down there right now with some time on his hands and cash in his pocket, he could probably get the bargain of a lifetime.
I'd say the adage "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.
They have CARFAX for autos in situations like this. I don't recall ever hearing about an equivalent for boats. Unless you can grab a reliable surveyor (good luck on that right now), I'd be <i>EXTREMELY</i> leery of "good deals" from that part of the country for some time to come.
