BEER30 Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share #22 Posted December 23, 2008 would not whant to hit any big rocks or tree stumps and crack the bottom then try the water bit:stirthepot: Boaters insurance ! My Ins co. covers just about every obstacle you could hit and only cost $275.00 a year on a $44,000.00 bath tub . After a hurricane some years ago , the storm moved the boo-ees (sp?) I hit the getty and broke the skeg off the lower unit and prop . Insurance replaced the lower unit housing , new stainless steel prop (had aluminum) and waived my $100.00 deductible as I save $$ myself getting back to port . They even paid for overnite service getting the parts back to the repair shop , as we needed the boat for a company function the following weekend . Sometimes Insurance co. amaze me , but it's not that often ! BEER30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot Posted December 23, 2008 Share #23 Posted December 23, 2008 And it's easy to WASH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted December 23, 2008 Share #24 Posted December 23, 2008 With so many moving parts on that vehicle, keeping up with the maintenance can be very involved and expensive IMO. It still amazes me. Time will tell, when car manufacturers will be able to apply that technology in cars. I don't mind commuting across the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
