Boat Sinking in Keyport

omg, you aren't telling me anything. I loved this boat. I hope we can get it back and running for the great weather that lies ahead.

Is that Kung Foos boat from Pederson's? Hope you guys can get everything taken care of quickly and get back to fishing.

It is Steve's boat.

Yep guys it my boat. The runoff from the creek and the moon and the outgoing tide was too much for the cleats. 5/8 braided dock lines didn't break. I had quite a few on the boat. What did give were the bolts on the dock. One word of advise for everyone. Please check your insurance policy. Make sure your covered all year round not just Memorial Day to Labor Day. I'm up s**** creek with this one. Worst thing is I just put 2 new foruno displays, autopilot, VHS and fish finder. 20k total. It was in the water for autopilot tuning. And a lil striper fishing Big mistake!!! I did have 2 stripers. I hope I have enough meat to hold me over till the boat gets fixed. I thank everybody for there concerns and offers. Which I might take up on to get my mind off the boat.

P.s. Does anybody know a good electronics guy or any good deals going on. Also a Yamaha mechanic and a fiberglass guy. Also any taco grand slam outriggers for sale. I was hurting already with the new electronics but it a lot worst now.

I forgot to mention. Everglades do sink.

Steve-O,

Sorry to read your post, I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. Good point about insurance coverage, I'm sure everyone who reads this will be checking their policies. It amazes me how often and not just with boat policies we think we have coverage but for some innocuous reason we find out we don't the hard way. On that note, if it was failure of the cleats or a bolt on the dock, why can't you file a claim against the marina's policy? I would think their coverage would come into play here since it's their equipment which malfunctioned and led to the accident.

I'm sure you've already addressed this but I'm curious why that wouldn't be the case.

Sorry about the bad info Steve.... I was just going by what I was told when I was getting fuel on Friday. You are always welcome to come fishing with me.

Marinas policy or if your broker did not inform you of the date limitation you MAY have an errors and omissions claim against the broker.
