Has anyone heard from Billylll since the storm?
I don't recall him checking in I just thought I would make sure he and his boat are OK.
 
Seem's like I recall him posting right after the storm that his boat, like many others, appeared to be a total loss. Haven't seen any confirmation of that since then.

He checked in.
Boat was buried under other boats.
Boatered is probably not a priority for him right now and understandably so!
 
I didn't see this I think I have his number I might just give him a call and make sure everything is OK. My in-laws have a place a few miles inland and had no damage I was hoping he was as lucky. I'm sure this is not what he was hoping for but I hope he was well insured.
 
Last post was boat was in trapped by other board and could not even be reached to assess damage

Hope it looked worst than it is
 
He posted several times. His marina took a huge hit, not sure if they are going to rebuild. His boat is damaged, he has not been able to get close enough to see how bad.
 
I sincerely all goes well for him. Bill is surely oneof the good guys. Has done a lot to help a lot of RO's on here.

Last contact with Bill was that he thought his boat was a total loss.
 
Bill, you have friends here, am i going to have to come find you??

Your close enough stop by and give him a big hello from all of us. Let him know we are thinking of him!
 
Parents live in town where his boat is, hit very hard.
Common Bill, time for that trawler!
 
WOW, that was a beautiful boat! No expense spared. I'm sure he's sick. I HOPE his ins makes him whole. Sad to hear. Sad to hear about all of you guys up there. Although I'm boatless right now I feel your pain. I've been through it and know somewhat what you're feeling. Still wow. Sorry to hear of all your losses.
 
I need to take a trip and see the damage now that the marina has cleared the boat and has it on stands. I'm insured but so far Boat US is so underwater with claims I just got the confirmation letter and instructions yesterday. I know this was a big storm but I am not impressed with Boat US so far.

Billy: Yes I'm sure they are swamped. They use local surveyors and that will be who contacts you. The surveyors seem to set the schedule. You might be able to find out who that will be and contact him directly.

If you dont have special coverage for all the unusual electronics they may not be covered.
 
I spoke to a friend of mine who is a surveyor on long island. He told me that he will be busy from Sandy until the end of 2013!
 
I have state farm and the local adjuster called us, but we cant get to the boat so we are still just waiting.
 
I have minor damage I was told to take pictures and get a couple of estimates they may just settle without ever coming to look. I'm sure they have their hands full. I just want to make sure this doesn't hold me up from getting in at the start of the season.

May work in your favor. With all the claims they may just total it quickly instead of nit picking. If they do total it, check the buy back price. You may be very surprised dependent on what you have to do.
BoatUS was simply AWESOME to us! I'm sure they'll treat you the same. BoatUS was the stand out amongst all others in the shed collapse in 2010.
 
Just remember you will only get a salvage title and then you will need to have it re-inspected to ensure that it is safe and seaworthy. Then can you only get insurance on it.
 
Bob are you sure about this? I was told by the yard there are no salvage titles for boats? Frankly this scares me a bit because you would never know what you are buying. There may be a bunch a real crappy boats on the market soon.
