Upside-down on a boat...
A kid in his 20's that I know, son of a good friend, told my wife and I last night at the fireworks party thing that he'd just bought a new boat. Well, new used boat, only 120 hours on the engine. I can't remember all the specifics but it was a nice boat. Was being the operative word. My wife just got a text from his mom. Apparently a tornado hit their boat dock today. His boat is floating upside-down in the water about 200 yards from what's left of the dock. His trailer is in a tree. If he sends us pics I will post them. Good news is, it was fully insured.

Hopefully he'll come out ahead with the insurance and be able to move up with a better boat.

Agree, thought this was going to be a story about a tragedy.

He bought it last Thursday, doesn't even have the registration paperwork all finished, but he asked his mom (who is in the insurance industry) to get him insurance on the boat, so she called an agent and forwarded all the information requests to her son, he sent the info, and got the policy bought last Friday. Tuesday he had it out on the water for the first time for about 30 minutes. Storm came up so he took it back to the dock and put it on a lift. And that was that. No pictures as of yet, he was majorly bummed out. His mom and stepdad was over for dinner and he called her when he had cell signal (previous all he could get was texts to go through sporadically.)

Wow. Insurance will definitely pay up unless there is some small print stating the boat needed to be on a trailer during bad weather. Hopefully it's covered!

Ah, the pictures.
If you click on the right arrow you can see his only "before" picture he has. Didn't realize when he said his boat was upside-down about 200 yards away from the dock that he meant his boat and the entire dock was upside-down 200 yards from the previous location of the dock. |
