A good question. They become the property of insurance companies, which then
sell them for whatever they can get ... I've seen hurricane-damaged boats
appearing in Canada, being offered for sale for repair; presumably somebody
bought them in the US and brought them up here hoping to get a better price.
I imagine salvaged good parts show up at Sailorman in Lauderdale and at
other such places ...
I'm sure others know much more about this!
