I'll jump on the bandwagon:

So its the driver's fault because he possibly avoided some other
reckless driver?

All the preparation
possible would not prevent some sort of damage.

Wrong. The criterion for proper preparation is that there would be no
damage in a panic stop.

I flew down to Florida especially to
pack up the boat, so I couldn't take the engine back as extra luggage. There was no
room inside the boat for this engine, crammed full with dinghy engine, collapsed dinghy,
boom, etc. Had the engine been inside or in the cockpit, I'm afraid even worse damage would have
been incurred. It's easy to blame the owner for improper packing of the boat, but there is no
excuse for bad driving.

So why do you think it was bad driving? Its possible it was superb
driving! Right now, the driver could be receiving a medal for
avoiding a bus full of nuns and orphans that suddenly served into his
lane.

I have made the trip to Florida dozens of time by auto, and never had to
make any kind of panic stop because
I kept a safe distance from other vehicles.

Now I understand. You're perfect so anything that goes wrong must be
someone else's fault!

I would expect professional truck drivers
to do the same. This driver was either half asleep after making the trip in under 2 days, or he was
spaced out on something.

There's certainly one delusional person here. The person you should
blame is the packer. For instance, he claimed the mast was "was
secured well in three places" and yet it "shifted foward about 2
feet." There is absolutely no excuse for this; the mast has plenty
of positive attachment points, so does the boat. Its pretty clear the
packer didn't know his business.
