Insurance update...

Art; you will really get a nice replacement because there is barely a market. I should say there are more boats than buyers or even tire kickers.
I'm pretty sure your BE buddies will want to know what the next purchase is once it happens.

Art that sounds like good news. On a claim like this I have a question. Is there/was there any environmental fines or penalties, and, if so, did the insurance company pay those also?
 
This is the maritime attorney that Zurich used when I went aground and was salvaged by a pirate (long story for another post). I have no doubt that he is outrageously expensive, but he certainly knew his stuff. If you call him, you might get lucky and get 15 or 30 minutes of free advice to see if you even need an attorney.

Arnold, I think Capt. Art got paid in full and will not be needing an attorney. Tell your salvage story.

As long as I was beyond 3 miles out & less then 8000 gals of fuel no fines.
 
Ok with all that legal stuff out of the way I think it is time for the BE Advisory and Strategy Team to get on the job of telling Art what he next boat should be.
 
Maybe he well sew the money up in his mattress and sleep on it.

Chris Fertig is very good and knows his nut regarding accident recreation.

He isn't free...............ever.
 
Thirty days is NOTHING to be concerned about. When a mechanic sunk my 40 footer, the ins settled in 13 weeks. Be aware: ins. companies can be A H ----they are looking out only for numero uno.
 
When I was called that my boat was down, I called my lawyer on the spot; he put me onto an attorney with 'marine' experience. He sent one of his attorneys to the marina, BEFORE I got there. From then on, I was out of the picture except for one recorded interview with the adjuster in presence of my surveyor. Money well spent! (ie, 1/3)
