I understand that some accidents are unavoidable, although this one might
have been..

How do you know, you weren't there!

What is not
avoidable are drivers lying to you about what happened and trucking
companies that claim to stand
behind any damages and then back out when something happens.

Once again, you have no basis to claim the driver was lying! The fact is
that mast was not anchored against sliding forward. The concept of a "spring
line" should be familiar to you.
The fact that the motor bracket cracked was not likely the result of a
sudden
stop, but rather the bouncing of the motor over hundreds of miles of
traveling.
Trucking companies are not responsible for securing the boat other than to
the
trailer.

Sorry, your arguments only point to the fact that the boat was poorly
prepared.

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.
