DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT:
Hurricane force winds from Hurricane Irma caused a storm surge, marinating N6428R including the wings, fuselage belly, and the engine with salt water.
There was evidence of salt-water depth of 31 - 45 inches, and the depth was likely much higher before leveling out.
In addition to the surge, Hurricane strength winds also blew debris and the salt water horizontally for up to 18 hours.
DESCRIPTION OF DAMAGES:
At the time of the hurricane, the aircraft was in a state of disassembly due to the annual inspection in progress.
The seats, left gear, and left wing had been removed and were on the hangar floor and completely immersed in salt water for an extended period of time.
The lower portion of the fuselage, wings and engine were also submerged in salt water
LOCATION OF AIRCRAFT: In a hangar at Marathon Airport (KMTH), Florida Keys
REMARKS:
Due to the lack of electrical power and fresh water for at least a week, no efforts were made to mitigate corrosion.
There is no Airworthiness Certificate.
