No comment? I guess ripping people off for a "non-insurance

The owner doesn't pay for the survey. My survey is for the yard to
determine if the boat will be allowed into brokerage. I recently took a
Hunter 43 in, but it had to pass my survey 1st. Owner does not pay for
this. Why is this hard to understand?
Three weeks ago a fellow came in with a Ericson that pinned my meter
when I ran the decks. I sounded it and even found the points where
water had got in. But the point is that I did not accept the boat into
our program. I'm not going to give away free storage on a boat we may
never sell.
My inspection covers everything from rigging, to sails and electronics.
Our shop checks the engine. On occasion I'll take the float boat or
even drive over to check a boat out that sounds promising. Sometimes I
get to sail it in with the owner. Over the past few years I've had the
pleasure of sailing quite a few boats...a nice little benefit.

I could see that Marty was confused. He's a bitter guy. Here's my post
and it's quite clear what I'm talking about...

"The condo run marina is quite strict and enforces
these rules to maintain the lowest insurance rates around."


Obviously it's the marina's insurance I'm talking about. BUT, lower
rates for us also means lower costs to people who use the facility. So
our system of lines with shackles and no fuel dockside pays off.

Marty, were you born an asshole, or just someone who worked at it your
whole life? Insurance companies do indeed base their rates on incidents
at a various marinas. If a marina is robbed enough or suffers many
sinkings, rates go up. Marinas like ours must be ready for countersuits
based on claims when some pinhead ruins his own boat and makes a claim.
If he tied it up wrong and suffers damage, the insurance co. can still
come after us. And we carry insurance for that which varies according
to how few problems come along. But our systems of prevention make that
a lot tougher for people to screw up and are good protection for
everyone else who CAN tie up a boat. You seem to know nothing about
this and should just shut your big inflated yap.
Really, dude. You know nothing. It's amazing.

Funny. My survey of a Ericson 34 took a few hours and was detailed
right down to sounding the deck and hull and testing all the

34 for brokerage. The owner's expectations were not realistic. Buc and
NADA are only a quick stop. They are rarely in tune with the current
market for a given area.

No thanks.

Guess which marina?

Survey? That's not a survey at all. No doubt you check the Buc Book,
take
a quick glance at the boat to make sure it isn't trashed, and then
offer
your recommendation to the brokerage. Calling yourself a surveyor is
like
you calling yourself a captain.


Funny. My survey of a Ericson 34 took a few hours and was detailed
right down to sounding the deck and hull and testing all the
electronics. The engine is surveyed by our shop. I rejected the Ericson
34 for brokerage. The owner's expectations were not realistic. Buc and
NADA are only a quick stop. They are rarely in tune with the current
market for a given area.

Interesting that I've been hooking you in the gill plate far more than vice
versa lately.

BTW, Max, I pay nothing for keeping my boat at the nicest marina
around. Not even bottom paint or the new lifelines I'm still mulling
over (can't decide on wire or rope).

3/4" twisted sisal would look great on the Bendy, not to mention tres chic.

Have you been drinking again, Bob/Lloyd?

No need to drink like H S Thompson. With me it is all natural!

I met Thompson, and Crantz is no Thompson.


But applying your criteria fully:

You have never met Crantz, and therefore cannot qualify the inequality of
Crantz and Thompson.

Do you know where H.S. Thompson lived? Do you know where Woody Creek is?
I have shot the "MeatMaster".

Glory!

Thank the gods.

I know Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle is a friend of mine, and you're no Dan
Quayle. :-)
