Keywest v Sigma

[Apollo]

Day off - took the boat to Tin Can Bay to get service on motor. Was going to go for a fish, but needed to get home to get some stuff done. Part way back and some dude drive across a cross road and the photos tell the rest. It rolled over twice after seperating from the trailer before coming to rest upside down. The other driver was taken away by ambo (before I could get to him)

Steve that is unbelievable crappy! Glad you're physically okay.

Any chance you could get your money back for the service ..... you know, tell em it's running a bit rougher than when you took it in?

Just shook the boat to pieces........

Steve, you probably have already thought of it but probably worth taking the ute to a panel beater and get them to check the towbar and chassis for damage.

[Horse]

Bleedin heck Steve that was a close call. That could have easily been your car doing the flips. Now you get the fun of trying to find another boat just as good to replace it.

You may be right Mark. The back of the ute got thrown around a bit when the boat and trailer took off sideways and the trailer remained attached to the ute despite being upside down. As you can see, the tow hitch took a fair whack and got bent.

There was a few interesting moments of going down the road sideways where I thought we all migh go cartwheeling, but I got on the gas and managed to get it straight again.

Thanks everyone for your kind words or support.

Sorry to hear about your trouble there, none of us ever want that sort of thing to happen. Glad you are Ok and wish you the best in getting the boat and car all fixed up asap, I'd have a melt down if too long without my boat.

[Jarrah Jack]

No good mate. Sickening seeing that and Shy Guy's pic's of his accident. You need some luck on those roads by the looks, I hope I have some when I come up. Could've been a lot worse.

PS There's a mob down here that sell off Marine Hulls insurance write off motors. What sort of motor was yours seeing its just been serviced...

[my v16c]

Good to see that your OK, there's only one of you but heaps more Key Wests to chose from.
Cheers;DMy V16C

[Richo1]

Bugger! Good luck with the insurance bit....hope he has it.

[Captain Seaweed]

Oh Steve you poor bugger, that's not cool at all. Im happy you didn't get injured. I hope the insurance looks after you mate, I know how much you liked that boat.

[SunnyCoastMark]

Hey Steve,
That is devastating and I hope it works out well for you. Just goes to show - you can be driving along quite happily.............and BANG!............along comes an idiot!

The worst part is there is ususally not much that you can do - except pick up the pieces and move on. Bloody frustrating though...............

[netmaker]

horrible news mate. very sorry to hear it. glad you're okay and also that d*&$head got away before you could get into trouble...

[tropicrows]

Steve, far out man, glad your OK everything else can be replaced. You must be shattered, that's really bad news. I'm lost for words

[Goodoo haven]

Oh Steve. I am so sorry to read this news about you and your boat. At least your alright anyway mate.

I hope things get sorted out for you as soon as possible and you can get back on the water again soon.

[ozynorts]

That just sucks after all you went through to get it. Hope everything works out well and you get everything replaced.

[Dicko]

Geez, that's a bummer mate. Glad you're ok though. I remember speaking to you after my oopsie and replacing my boat. Now it looks like, sadly, you're in the same boat..literally.

[WalrusLike]

Horrible sight. Glad your ok. The boat to come is going to be even better!

So sad that you need to go through all this grief before you can be happily boating again. I wish you all the best.

Ya can't keep a good man down...

[Argle]

Sorry to see that after what you went through waiting to import and all. On the plus side luck he hit the boat and didn't t-bone the ute - could have been worse still.

Good luck with the insurance.

Cheers

Scary stuff. Saw another boat laying on the road on Sunday morning at the roadworks on the gateway near Depot Rd overpass. Big 650 Haines Patriot come off the trailer and skidded to a stop. Makes you feel sick for all concerned. Best of luck with insurance and hope you are back on the water ASAP.
