Just signed up with club marine again now I've got another boat.. Last time I was with them I had to claim twice and they came to the party both times. I don't think I'll even bother shopping around before the grace period expires.

kudos to club marine - well done

[TREVELLY]

Well guys all things considered - you stood to lose $50k and also risked your lives so $10k down and safe and well - it seems fair to say as ugly as it all seemed, and really could have gone, you got off lightly.

As with the boat being underinsured due to improvements you have made - increasing it's value - is there any reason why you can not remove the items as they are yours and not covered by insurance anyway - assuming we are talking about add ons that are of value and use in a replacement boat and also assuming this one is a right-off?

Good to hear Club Marine is coming to the party for you Shy guys , I have a mate going through a insurance claim at the moment(Club Marine) and I think everyone should have a close look at there policys.
Hope all goes smooth and your back on the water soon.
Cheers Gav

you should have the options of first dibs on buying it back so that might be an option to recoup the balance.

Has merit guys if you love the boat - new trailer $6k + new motor $20k + hull repairs $10k - you get boat back better than ever

[ozynorts]

I just re read the initial post by the boys and they say that it caught fire!!! Not sure there will be much to salvage??? I guess it depends on what was burnt and how much of the boat was on fire but would have to assume that a hull that has been on fire would be a risk to put back on the water.
Hope everything goes well with the insurance and you are on the water again soon.

You'll be able to keep the salvage if you want and the salvage value will come off the payout of the claim.

Generally the salvage is fk all, so it could very well be worth it if you have extras in there you still want.

hey guys glad yous ok very lucky catch up soon

[madmackrel]

Harry good to hear you guys are ok,good to see you blokes at 1770 and if you need to fish while waiting for the new boat just call mate

[netmaker]

maaaate. if you weren't so soft and just drank more piss you would have beaten that dysentry bug and none of this shit would have happened. hope you can do better next year

Hey everyone a lot happier today insurence is covering me club marine they have admitted a computer fault from there end so I put my hand out to club marine so now the long wait till they asses the damage and let me know if it is repairable or I'll be looking for a new boat just a reminder to everyone when renewing insurence got to remember to adjust cover when new items are added and to make sure the cover is enough to cover everything in boat I'm under insured and out of pocket 10k if they write the boat off but at the end of the day at least it's not 50k out of pocket thanks for all the replys and will let yous know what happens with the boat

Just read this thread as I look at my Club Marine Insurance policy that is due tomorrow! I was going to do the ring around but think I might just pay up now!
