Okay, I want to know if this is possible or has happened to you guys.

I had a window broken on my boat last week sometime... it was one of those where a tiny sliver of glass is at the center and missing, but the window is still in place, just spiderwebbed.

We had some hail in the last week, but no more than small-medium marble size. One side window on the boat was broken, the other side and the two panels of the forward windshield were untouched.

I'm debating whether to blame the hail or the neighborhood juvenile delinquents... makes no difference as far as insurance, but I'm thinking I may install some more lighting and security cameras.

Anyone ever have hail break just ONE window?

Re: Hail damage?

Yes, In fact I have replaced hail damaged door glass in trucks that never took a single chip in the windshield. Go figure?
I wouldn't rule out the vandals though. Look for any suspicious rocks laying around. :(

Re: Hail damage?

You can never have enough security.

That being said, the hail we had didn't seem to be anything that would be damaging to the point of breaking glass, at least not west of you where I'm at. There was a lot of it, that's for sure, but most of it was pea gravel sized over here.

At least insurance will cover it though.
