Bill, I'll be interested to hear how Boat/US reacts. From (happily) negligible experience and from observation, I think you're in good hands and will be treated well.

I'm sure they will handle claims appropriately, but the deductible with my BoatUS policy increases dramatically if damage is due to a named storm. They cover half the cost of hauling in anticipation of a named storm, but that wouldn't have done me much good - our marina sent everyone an email letting us know they would not be able to haul boats.
 
Bill,

Most of Total Marine wound up on my block. I have a 32 Century sitting on my front yard. I've never seen such utter devastation in my life. I had 3' of water in my house, an absolute disaster.

My boat was at Tuckerton Marine on it's trailer awaiting a new fuel pump, the police would've let me down South Green St to see if it's still there, the cop said I should expect the worst. Tuckerton Beach was totally submerged and boats are stacked like cord wood.

Hey Bill, truly sorry to learn of your loss. I known how much effort sweat money and *heart* you put into that boat. People will tell you that, in the final analysis, it's just a thing and all, and you still have your lives and your health, etc, but it's still a devastating emotional loss. Feel for ya!

Same goes to all the others who have felt Sandy's sting.

I think he was referring to losing your boat. That's what I took from the comment. You are right Pascal, lots of other people lost everything.
 
I have lost family, pets, and plants.

Losing a boat is right up there.
Yes, it can be replaced, but you put alot into your boat and you have a love/hate relationship with it at times.

I think the comment is a little insensitive.
Losing homes I am sure is worse than a boat!

Most of our friends up north have lost their homes, some permanent and others temporary. I'm sure they would've rather have lost their boats.

Sensitive like arm chair captaining another captains decision to sail south which resulted in the loss of life?
 
I will be filing a claim as well for my boat in beach haven. have only seen facebook pics so far that someone else posted, can't get on to lbi to get a first hand look. Does anyone know if the marina's insurance pays out anything for our loss or is it just my own policy. Since the boat was in winter storage and blocked by them, do they have any liability in this situation?
 
Craig,
Obvisously loosing your home is a lot worst and without getting into a pecking order I just think that saying "stuff is just stuff"' is a little insensitive in a thread where so many of our members have lost "stuff"

I do get the point about "stuff" being replaceable vs life.
 
Totally understand Pascal. It is just a bad situation all the way around. I was very lucky on the Elk River and at my house that is close to the Delaware River and Delaware Bay.

My contract with the marina has none unless my insurance company can prove neglegance on the part of the marina.

Harlan, do you have a spare small rental house? I have to get out of NJ. (Hopefully just kidding).
