Seems a lot of boats were damaged in the recent storms in Florida.
Some of the tv coverage was taken at marina's, one I saw was at Crandon Marina in Miami, two boats about 20' in lenght were just tied up against the dock. They were relatively new with what seemed like 150+Hp outboards, felt bad seeing them bang against the dock like that. The camera crew checked on them every so often and they were beaten pretty bad by the end of the storm Lots of cracked and broken fiberglass. Made me wonder why people you leave boats like that in the water. These two boats were definetly trailerable but they were left in the water. I know some larger boats you just have to take your chances but at least try to do something to protect them. Are they just new boaters that don't know any better, Old boaters that just don't care anymore or people hoping more for an insurance claim than getting back on the water. |
