Hi guys- Great forum here. There is an auction house that has a seized 2001 NX882 going on the block next month. I looked at it today and may try and pick it up if I can get it cheap enough to warrant the work it needs. Also need to have the motor checked by a mechanic. Here's what I know:
2001 NX882 with Nitro trailer. Mercury 150 XR6 w/o prop. Missing trolling motor, batteries, charger, electronics, stern light. Been sitting uncovered outside for quite awhile. Seats need recovered. Topside pretty oxidized. Needs wetsanded and buffed. Hull in good shape. Cracks to gelcoat above rubrail at portside stern from collison (dock maybe). Area is about 12" x 4". No damage to fiberglass. Not sure whether to figure having it fixed or live with it.
What would be the price to pick this up for and still get it back together well under what buying a clean ready to go boat would be? I see them selling for between 11 and 15k. Looks like 3k+ in missing equip alone. Thanks for any help!

He got it cheap enough though and still come out ahead.
