Vessel Appraised at $1M Sold for $160K at U.S. Marshal Sale — No Evidentiary Hearing Held

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL — A federal judge confirmed the U.S. Marshal sale of M/V Slow UR Roll II for $160,000 — just 16% of its $1,000,000 appraisal — without holding an evidentiary hearing. The sale was confirmed by DE 108 on July 14, 2026, 13 days after the objection was denied for "lack of jurisdiction."

An emergency stay motion is pending in the 11th Circuit (Appeal No. 26-12270-G). If no stay is granted by July 23, the ministerial title transfer becomes final and the appeal becomes constitutionally moot.

Key facts: The $160K sale price was less than the $168,773 judgment amount. The buyer, William Wilson / QF Products LLC, executed an exclusive sales agreement with National Liquidators the same day as the sale. No court has reached the merits of any objection.
