Two weeks ago I was rafted off at Shooters in the Flats (Cleveland) with 2 other boats. At about 1:30am a 500' freighter was heading out the cut and didn't take the turn wide enough and smashed into our boats and the dock. To make a long story short- my boat as well as my buddies boats got Crunched. Really hard!
Had a surveyor out to look at the damage and found that most of it was cosmetic, although he did see a little bit of spider cracking in the stern. Bottom line is that my boat was damaged pretty bad and it will NEVER be the same. Talked to my insurance guy and he said that the frieghters insurance company will pay for the damage, but not only will this take months for the claims to go through, my fountain will never be the same. Resell value and all the monthly payments I still need to make on the damn boat (dry rack storage, insurance, boat payments, etc.) are still my responsibility. Don't you think that this all comes into comsideration when it comes time to deal with the insurance? Pissed off and looking for some advice.
