SPBFAN's Boat Damage

[Moki]

Misery loves company. Here are some photos of my unfortunate event. I just got the call today that the repairs are complete so hopefully all will be good. Again good luck with your repairs.

Ouch!!! That's enough to make a grown man cry. I am glad that you are close to being back on the water.

Good to here that State Farm took care of you Billy Doyle. That is who I have. Boat goes to TWS tomorrow.

who is bringing it down?

[SPBFAN]

Well the boat is now at TWS. I can't say I am not nervous as you all know I am completely nuts about exact maintenance and repairs, as well as I have a super super hard time letting some one else do the work that I know how to do and have done for others.

But I am certain TWS will take very very good care of the boat and repair it completely. John the service manager is probably saying why did on take on this project and at the same time knows it will be done right. He told me I am worrying way to much about it to let them take care of it.

But you all know that is hard for me to do. Any ways it is there and I hope to see it home in a few weeks back on the water.


G-Money lives right around the corner and said he would stop in every now and then to see how it is going. So that eases some pressure for me. It is nice to have Friends that understand and know what it is like to have this happen.

Wow Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope all works out for you.

omg!! thats heart breaking... and to think we get stressed over minor scratches. lakes are so dangerous like that... we are extremely lucky to have a 20meter+ deep river to board in..

best of luck with the repairs.. im sure it will come back looking like new..

Well insurance settled repairs are under way. It fell short of the amount needed to total the boat. Which to be honest I am thankful for. I love my 24V and have a ton of factory options that I would have lost if it was not repairable. The fiberglass guy says the back end will actually be stronger than factory was when it is all done because he is actually building up the fiberglass thicker than it was to repair it. MORE BALLAST. They promised it would be water tight and look and function just like it did when it was brand new. No water will get into the bilge and it will stay dry just like before. So I should have it back in three weeks just in time for the thanks giving run on T-Day that DOMZ06 got me started on each year. It is now part of our tradition. .

The bright side is that you can keep your baby. The dark side is that you can't buy that 2010 RZ2 yet

I'll take the bright side any day!!!

Good to here that State Farm took care of you Billy Doyle. That is who I have. Boat goes to TOWS tomorrow.

When I tore up my tower State Farm and the adjuster just wanted replacement quotes after the sent adjuster out to look at damage. I gave them estimate to replace The Tige tower with Tige or go for the Razor. So I just sent in the Razor Quote and State Farm took care of the tower and install cost less deductible of course.

I would recommend State Farm.

Yes They did fix it for me. I was abto to take it out today and it did very good. There was a very small amout of water getting in, probably through the propshaft area. Everything else was great. Also, they put a different prop on, from a 13.5x17 to a 14.5 x 14.5 and wow what a difference. The shop doing my work has been great and I have no concerns about the little leak. Hope all goes well for you and your repairs. You might consider the prop change if you don't already have the 14.5.

Current repair pictures

Here is the current repair pictures of my boat. I was in the area working last week and stopped in to see how it was going. They handed me a supplemental to the original estimate for approval which they got and showed me what they were doing. The gel-coat was for sure cracked up real good as you will see in the pictures and the rudder port was ripped out. Eventually I will get to put a smile face on one of these post I hope

Put a little BONDO on that bad boy and she should be as good as new!!!!!!!!!!
