Default Hurricane Ike Boat Insurance claims tips?

Does anyone have any tips or experience they could share on how to
deal with insurance adjusters for significant boat insurance claims?
My boat was one of many badly damaged in Hurricane Ike...I'm guessing
$50k+ in damage (boat is worth about a $100k). Flybridge was
crushed,
radar, Loran, radio & gps antennas, flybridge enclosure, T-top, and
outriggers/center rigger all trashed. bow pulpit yanked off too &
Port Engine engine won't start, plus the whole dock box gone and
everything in it.

The damage was extensive & I was really surprised she stayed afloat,
but it doesn't appear the boat would be totaled...my policy is a
declared value policy, for what I paid for the boat as opposed to a
replacement value policy. Please respond to the group & thanks in
advance.
