rock damage

Re: rock damage

I appreciate the input. I like the idea of driving another new boat of the same make/model. I can't imagine that this is a standard built in harmonic that causes enough vibration to make items that don't normally rattle...rattle.

I assumed Grandboater did not buy a $75,000 boat and then not purchase an insurance policy on it.

Well, you know what they say about "assume"! <br /><br />But on the other hand, not every boater turns in what they think is only "minor" damage. After all, if he has a $75k boat, he has $2000 or so to fix it. Semantics.

Re: rock damage

Good point, Tilliam. But, this claim could be a few hundred dollars, or it could be a complete new B3 drive train.<br /><br />Most people do not understand that the contract with the insurance company puts the burden on them to make you whole again, once you have proven that you have a covered loss under the contract.<br /><br />Grandboater is doing their work for them, in my opinion. He needs to turn in a claim if he has not done so, and let them run with it, all the way up to a new motor and drive if that is what it takes.<br /><br />I would not settle for anything less.

PS---the marina you mentioned has been operating under the "only show in town" syndrome since the day it opened. I would not send my worst enemy there.

I understand that, yes.<br /><br />

I would! That way I know my worst enemy would be cheated very badly!<br />(it's 38 years, by the way, I got the speech when he tried to tell me that all the gears inside were stainless steel!)

Re: rock damage

So far the dealer has invoiced me $660 for the repair. I have emailed the salesman and the owner of the marina with the hope that they will do the right thing and re-evaluate the repair. In the meantime and given that the easy fix did not work I guess it's time to make a claim. To date I have been reluctant to make a claim given that I have $1000 deductible but I guess the time has come. Thanks again.
