Just My Luck

[QUOTE=Les Young;535043]What will be will be I guess I just hope they don't try to jerk me around & I can find something as good mechanicly as what I had. As faras looking great mine did. Lots of folks couldn't believe it was a 95 model. Just want to get it over with, but absolutley will not roll over either. lol I was thinking of going to a 19 or 20 footer anyway as soon as possible, but preferably a nice older 201 or 200 Pro with a newer year model motor,a TR 20 or a nice older Bullet. Guess maybe it will be sooner than later now, but sure didn't want to turn loose the funds right now as I'm getting ready to build a 28 X 32 polebarn garage to park the wifes car & my boat in. You know their gonna try to gig me for sure on the Humminbird. lol[/QUOTE]

look for some fishing pics that might have the finder in it. Those pics should be enough to prove what you had.

Keep looking for the boat. I've seen a few nice ones on this board for sale, and I know a couple guys here who have purchased stellar boats.

I passed up on one a few months ago that was 20ft skeeter 15 yrs old.......only used 3-4 times a year. It was in stellar shape.

You can find them.

Many years ago I was insured by allstae, so was the car behind me.He got hit by a semi, which kept going. I got the smelly end of the stick. I promised allstate if I' ever hit by an allstate driver I'll spend the rest of my life suing them. The agent told me " that's what makes the rates go up" I said I'd be able to afford them after the suites.

I'm very sorry this happened to you...best wishes going forward

Yea good luck man. Insurance companies are a joke.

I've been having some nice conservatations with someone that underwrites for a bunch of different companys & this person is supposedly going to guide me through the process. I also told them today on a recorded conservation by Allstate that I thought I would bring in a marine surveyor & that I definitley had absolutley no problem going to court with my lawyer in tow when they said that we could possibly get into a limit issue with his coverage. Then they said that if it went over the limit of his insurance that mine would pay the difference & they would pay them behind the scenes & both companys said that my rates would not go up a dime because in no way was it any fault of mine whatsoever. Seems hard to believe to me. Anyone have experience with this ??? Thanks

I have a 2001 triton tr20 with 200 Yamaha on it I'm trying to sell. I'm asking $12,500 Sorry to hear about your boat and truck.

Thanks, but I probably will be spending about 2/3 of that.

Maybe Les you will get a good adjuster and he will work with you on your loss. If you have done any kind of work to the engine, boat or trailer in the last year or so have the reciepts ready it will work to your advantage to get what you need out of your boat. Best of luck.

They tried to lowball me while I was at a well known dealer looking at a dual console the same brand, but 1 year newer than mine& not nearly the electronics mine had. I told them what it took which was almost twice what they offered & not to call back unless they were prepared to pay for my boat, motor, trailer, jackplate, prop,3 new batteries, blacklightjacks, trolling motor, hot foot & headlight. Not to mention the transducer & mount with cables that is still attached to my boat & the 1198 headunit that is now missing as well & this doesn't even include the damage to my truck which they estimated about $1300.00 less than the fellow that I'm going to have fix it. Looks like it will be a while, but I have no problem waiting other than the fact I don't have a boat & have to go with a buddy when he decides to go. Good thing I'm hardheaded enough that I won't willingly give in.It can for sure go to court as far as I'm concerned.

Went back & forth & had to be put into a marine adjusters hands. Made an agreement on boat price & settled & I bought an 03 Stratos 18XL with an 03 Johnson 175 & still had just a little money left. Pretty good deal you ask me when you upgrade 8 years on boat & motor from what you had for less than the settlement price of what had to begin with. Life is good. lol

Sound like you got lucky and a good deal, glade to here it.
