Saw this on copart. Has a jetboaters.net wheel cover. Anyone on the board familiar with it?

Not sure, but this statement may be worrisome. Maybe its just a blanket statement as its a boat?

Engine bay looks pretty clean. Missing engine covers and it looks like the port air filter housing has been opened for some reason. I don't see any obvious "water line" like I would expect from something flooding. Hull doesn't look beat up (on the one side we can partially see) either.
Might be a good refurb if you could put eyes on it before the bidding began, and you had some cash to throw at it.

I’d be very careful about buying from copart. Lots of horror stories and info about how copart games their system to extract more money from bidders on YouTube. Also, unless you are a registered dealer/broker you will have to purchase those services for an additonal $400 or so. You can pay to see the boat in person, it was $75 a few years ago.
the air filter cover may have been removed because the air filter was saturated with water which prevented the engine from starting. I would want to see if there is water in the oil before I bid on that boat. If it’s salt water that’s been there for weeks I would pass as the engines are likely toast. However if the price is right and you are willing to part it out there is money to made, fun or not so fun facts: the rubber connext cover retails for $140, the connext display is $2,200.
