You're filled 100% with slips for sale/rent, seems contradictory.

Huh? Even the slips I'm selling are full now.

What
kind of insurance company bases rates on which marina one uses?
Enough
of this, you're so full of it that one can't conduct any sort of
meaningful discourse with you.

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.

What would the insurance company say when they find out that one of the
Marine Surveyors is not licensed or certified?

That one of the marina's "employees" does towing for hire without a
Captain's license?

That the marina has people working off the books?

hmmmm?

What would the insurance company say when they find out that one of the

Marine Surveyors is not licensed or certified?

I only due broker surveys to determine value. No insurance involved.

Captain's license?

I'm permited to operate the float boat for all service related issues.
And you'd have to read our specific contract to know what's permited
and what's not.

Who says I'm off the books? I declared barter earnings last year. Had
to since there would be no paper trail to explain how we get so much
without paying..

Guess you lose again, Bob. I'm trying to remember if you EVER win a
point.

In other words, the buyer has to pay for a second survey for
insurance? What a deal!

Tell us exactly how you determine a boat's value, Bubbles.
Inquiring minds want to know.

I determine whether a boat is allowed into brokerage. I also do a
pre-survey so I can deal with outside surveyors after a deposit is left
on boats sold outside the program. We determine value like most other
brokers. We simply know the local market and communicate with other
brokers. Wanna know what a late 80's Tartan 34 sells for here? I know
the two boats that sold recently and we make notes in NADA on that.
Simple stuff.

Then we can include IEEE Biomedical Transactions, Nature, Science, JPS, etc.
Science is manly reading.

No comment? I guess ripping people off for a "non-insurance
survey" is part of how you got rich?

half-diligent owner could do for himself.

That sounds interesting.

.... Nature

Seen this one, it's kind of popular-consumption fluff isn't it?

What's JPS?

I happen to like Scientific American, they often have really
cool pictures.
