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?


My insurance company would be the ones to whom I'd go for recourse. My
deductible would be out the window. Of course, the insurance company could,
and probably would, take on the marina. But, the contract says they're not
liable.
