UMMMM..........if the boat sank it would need a repower........right?
And if it sank a second time it would need another repower........right?
Your numbers and statements just don't add up.
Let's see if this winds up being another Luhrs 41 slugfest.
I take it you had your boat insured? Why not file a claim with your insurance carrier and have them battle this out in subrogation while you kick back in your new boat?
Or you could handle the whole thing yourself...but judging from your 1st post I'd probably leave it up to your insurance carriers attorneys.
Without pictures and hard facts, I'm calling BS on this one.
This guy is starting to sound like he's posting from a prison (right after getting out of the shower with Bubba, hence the screen name).
What's up with so many folks suddenly having a hard on against Venture?
Pictures and many more details.....It will take more than a paragraph of words to get most us jumping on your bandwagon. If you truely want help put some effort in your post otherwise your plight here will go unnoticed...Venture Marine has a very good reputation here... Where did your boat sink (what city)? who was the salvager (sp)? When did it sink? What did Venture fix or cause the sinking?etc..
