Well, I'm back and still no answer from "Progressive". They sent a Marine Surveyor to my house to look at my boat trailer. The gentleman that show up looked at my trailer and even said to me, "you had to hit a big pot hole or something to cause this to break". He also said he can see where the break has clean metal. Now keep in mind that Progressive is paying his salary and now he has to go do a report and send it into Progressive. Then they will contact me. (I filed my claim on June 23rd and still have no answer....By the way, my Progressive bill showed up today in the mail...right on time....imagine that.)

Jabbo, when my progressive claims rep. came to my house, he used the words "normal wear and tear." My trailer broke into...not one of the springs...not an axle....a wheel bearing didn't go out...the trailer itself broke.

I've had three different Marine Dealerships look at my trailer and they all say that they have never seen a trailer break like that before. So, can you please tell me how that could be called "NORMAL" if it just doesn't happen? I even had those people call my claims rep. and talk to them and let them know that this was not at all normal.....and still nothing.

How come a statement from people that have been working on boats and trailers for over 50 years (combined) means nothing at all? I can promise you that they have way more knowledge of boats and trailers than the surveyor that they sent out.

Jabbo, I can show you a list of 8 people that I have talked to that has had or have progressive now, and their claim was denied because of this so called "wear and tear." I also have a list of thirty something people that have Progressive insurance who I fish with all the time, who are waiting to see what happens to me. There are a lot of people on this site also that seem to be very interested in whats going to happen. This is the only site I've been on so far, but with all the calls and feedback I have received, I feel like I should get on all my other favorite sites and let them all know how this is being handled. (Ky Bass Federation...Ky Bass Fed. Nation....Renegade Marine.... Bass Boats Central....B.A.S.S.......FLW.....etc...the list goes on.)

Hopefully I'll know something soon......I'm now going into my 4th week without anything being settled. I'll keep everyone posted. Wish me luck......it looks like I'll need it.

I'll let everyone know no matter what happens. Please stay tuned!!!!

Thanks
Heath
