I once asked a forklift operator at a dry storage place if he had
ever dropped a boat. He said there had been damage but never
anything serious.

This isn't just some kid on a big forklift...

...and in three of the three boatels I've used, the 'fine print' says the
marina is not responsible for dropping the boat from the fork lift.

FWIW.

You're kidding, right? They have NO responsibility? How do you present
that claim to your insurance company?

Dan,
The contract can say anything it wants, it does not necessarily remove
them from having liability if your boat is damaged. It is happened to
me, I would report it to my insurance company, and they would fight it
with the botel.

If the contract included *specifically negotiated* hold harmless,
indemnification or other risk transfer verbiage the liability can
absolutely be transfered.over to the contractor.

If not, good luck. ;-)
