I have a strange feeling the marina might not rebuild. It was rumored this summer that one of the 2 marina's owned by them in NJ was for sale it wasn't ours the one for sale is near Belmar actually Neptune on the Shark River. I have agreed value insurance with Boat US so I'll report the good, the bad and hopefully no ugly!

Bill-
Sorry about the boat. If there is anything Lil & I can do for you guys, let us know.

I was almost afraid to open this thread today as I know that there are a lot of NY/NJ folks on the board. Good luck to everyone who has boat or other damage.
 
To Bill and anybody else with damage - we feel for you - best wishes.

Hmmm, I wonder if any countries we have helped out are sending any help and aid?

I just got a call from my marina tonight. My boat is a total loss.
It was on land the surge destroyed it and almost every boat at the marina.
There are no docks or services at the marina. Some boats are 3 to 4 blocks away from the marina.
I'll really miss her!

Wow Bill, I'm sorry to hear that. Absolutely sucks.

+1 Very sorry to hear that as well.

But look on the bright side, just think of all the cool stuff you will be able to do to your new diesel powered boat. :-)

Looks like our governments response(including FEMA)to this disaster is a huge improvement over the Katrina debacle.
Governor Christie has had nothing but praise for the Presedents expedient response.
Those peolpe effected by this disaster can use all the help they can get and it's looking like America is comeing through for them at local,State and Federal levels.
 
Well I just returned from trying to take a safe look at the boat. I can't say if it's a total loss or a tweener. There are to many boats against it under it and on it. There is obvious damage but I can't see under the hull. I couldn't even get inside the boat until the pile is cleared.
Bill
 
+1 so sorry to hear about boats getting damaged, but glad I am not hearing of anyone being hurt. Bill - forgive me if I missed it, but I am assuming these boats had been hauled and floated off the stands?
 
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've posted some photos on HRCC. Finally got to the boat today and it was in perfect condition!

We had moved from our home marina to a well protected marina next door, Minisceongo Yacht Club (MYC). They took about 20 boats from our place and have been fantastic neighbors. None of the boats that moved over suffered any damage.

Then we went over to PennyBridge to assess the damage. It is a wreck, boats that were on stands in the parking lot floated 110 yards and crashed into each other and the marina office. One entire dock ("D") broke away, with boats attached and landed on the seawall of MYC.

It will take a while for PBM to be able to haul boats, so the folks at MYC are allowing us to stay for as long as it takes.

I was hauled and properly blocked. Most of the boats in the marina are in a big pile against,
under and ontop of portions of my boat.
Bill
 
Up here, it seems the hauled and blocked boats took it worse than those in the water. It was a crapshoot...
 
At least Canada is being a good neighbor and helping out. What about Mexico? (Rhetorical)
 
I was hauled and blocked and just had some flooding in the lot that wasn't deep enough to float the boat. We were very lucky on the Chesapeake Bay. My heart goes out to everyone north of the Chesapeake.

In my experience, Boat US is just about the gold standard of handling boat loss claims. They had many, many boats insured at our marina this past spring when the tornado wiped everything out. They were the first insurance team on the ground, had a surveyor on site that came up from coast of GA that was there for 2 weeks or so, and went the extra mile of putting tarps on boats, etc. as needed. Every single person I talked to that was insured with them were 110% satisfied with the process and results. I could not say enough about how impressed I personally was with how Boat US handled the natural disaster we went through this spring!
 
Amazing, I posted on LICC too.....my marina was a disaster area and somehow, not a scratch for me....just wet and dirty (first pic at low tide at tail end of storm)...

Our marina had no boats in the water. They wouldn't have made it we lost all the docks.
The surge took all the docks and floated them off the pilings. Anyone who has been at my
marina might remember the Gazebos before you went down the dock ramps. The roofs of the
Gazebos were under water. There had to be at least 10 feet of surge above the high tide for
that to happen.
