I kind of feel awkward about posting something like this but, to be honest I would hate to see someone here possibility get hosed.
While I can not prove that this was the boat involved in barge accident discussed in the thread below due the videos being removed, I distinctly remember 25 Sentry that was in the video. All the same details I remember from the video this boat has....The twin Evinrudes on the bracket, the rear crash bar and towing tower, the hard top and finally the blue name on the side.
I know this was also posted here in the GAM section but, I can not find the post on this site.
What makes me truly believe the boat in this auction is the boat is, in "thehulltruth" discussion the poster reports the starboard window being shattered. The boat in the auction is missing the starboard window. The poster who is telling his friends story is from Hollywood Fl which, is right next to Dania Fl where the boat is listed for sale. The poster notes that this Sentry was one of a few in his friend's fleet....The seller also has another 25' sentry on ebay for sale. Finally If you really look close you can see the areas of impact/pressure in the rub rail on the both the port and starboard side where the boat was squeezed next to the side windows.
Here is the Auction:

Here is THEHULLTRUTH.COM thread:
http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/ 291870-boston-whaler-sentry-getting-crunched-youtube-video-linked.html
or, here is just the original post by the author if that thread gets erased:

If you are bidding on this auction you may want to ask the seller for a full disclosure if this was the boat involved in the accident as it is not disclosed in the item description on ebay.
If this was not the boat involved then sorry, call me an a__.

Seems real suspicious since the user pulled the video.

I just sent a question to seller about the "thehulltruth" post and included the link.
We will see if he posts it on the eBay web page. May take a day or two for a response.

Not far from my house, If someone is interested I can take a look, just need an address, However the pictures posted by Jeff, the boat looks in very bad shape

This is the response that I got from the seller:
"Yes, not sure of clip I can't see it, on iPad, most of the impact was put onto barge, bid as you wish or not I understand, the boat handled it very well, any outer boat would have been no longer... I have a current survey. any questions call. Thank you and have a nice day."

Hopefully the buyers will see the survey.
