My boat is screwed

Clocked a pipe from the dredge on my lake on thursday night while playing a game of skate. Not my fault at all, they screwed up and it got out in the main chanel with no buoys. Besides what you can see I think my tranny is done too.

Yeah man, relax, you only have a few holes in your boat, and will have some of your season taken away... Why don't you just chill out. Rolling Eyes

Guess I need to relax and chill out. Insurance companys must opperate a lot differently in other countries. I'm sure the insurance company will get me a rental boat while mine is down for the month +(insert pure sarcasm here). If you think for a second my boat is gonna be good as new when I get it back make me an offer for it. Thanks for the imput, I'm sure that with you two being 17 and 19 you have seen this stuff a million times. I will probably just get a tube of shoe goo and she will be good as new. late.

foammesh, dont be telling me cuz im 19 i dont know what im talking about...i live in VA not another country....theres a lot of things i want to say to you right now but im restraining cuz i know ill probably regret it later and this post will get pulled. so overall backoff, just cuz im 19 doesnt mean i dont pay for my own insurance and shite like that and deal with them. no your insurance co isnt gonna give you a loaner boat thats just retarded, but your not gonna need to drop another 30K on a boat.

Dude, for someone who's dishing out the sarcasm, you sure as hell don't know how to find it. Re-read my post... I was backing you up, although it may have been a little too subtle.

Thanks fish, grouch, jd and livewire. I'm pretty bummed, luckily I have lots of bros with boats while it is down. Sorry Josh if I flew off the handle in my first post and needed to be told relax and chill out, guess I didn't relize I was freaking out about it. It doesn't give me much confidence when the people who are going to fix it are telling me it won't be the same and I should sell it when I get it back. 7/11dmd I'm sure you have payed for you're insurance for a long time, there is a big difference between paying for it and having to deal with a major claim. You don't get you're new car or boat or whatever it is back 100%. My resale value is going to be shot and it is just going to start a long line of problems from here. I want my perfect boat back that I serviced from day one and took care of everything. I can't afford a new boat I got a unreal deal on this one, don't even claim it isn't a big deal. For me not to have a boat for over a month sucks, I know they wont get me a rental boat that was kinda my point. All this for something that isn't my fault at all, it would be different if I was being stupid and did something. Sorry if I freaked out on you, I havn't been able to vent on the dredge company yet.

that happen to my buddys boat. It took about two weeks to get things all fixed. On an other note I was headed back from my buddys lake house four hours a way and my trailed started shaking so i pulled over and four lug nuts were missing so we had to get the b*tched towed for 1 hour.
