    Angry OH NO! The fork lift smashed my donzi!!!!

    Went to the marnia to take my boat by water to its new home at jackson marine.When I went in to the office they told me I couldnt take my boat,that they had work to do on it.Its all tuned up and ready???Then he told me they moved it and smashed it at the windshield/flarring.They hit someones lower unit when they lifted it.So I have the fiberglass man comit to work on it the week after memorial day weekend.So the boat stays at cheasapeake yachting center on the middle river for now.So anyway went out on a run hit 75mph on one pass,73mph on the another.Went over to fairlee creek they are putting in the coconut trees at the beach bar getting set to open for the summer season.

    Being a broker I have done Biz at Jacksons and have roamed around the shop and buildings. I go to quite a few marinas all over hell, Jacksons does a good job, has good people and have a good rep. I would be real surprised if they did not fix it perfect. That being said I would be dancing up and down and having the "Word Police" hollering at me!

    Not saying what happened to you was bad, BUT... A buddy of mine operated a fork lift at a boatel (is that a word?) back in '78. He dropped a 21', twin screw inboard, Nova after snagging the bow on the rack. The boat was knocked off of the fork while being placed into the top rack of three stacked. He said the boat must have been well built because it suffered only running gear and minor gel coat damage. Sure, that's what he said. No doubt, he was stoned at the time.

    Fast, GFI (go for it). The 33 ZX, that is. Just don't go for the Sonic.

    GERO1..LOL.Thanks for the offer.Did the company take away your safety bonus for going over 100mph.I think I lost my $50 savings bond.
    Undertaker take a look at www.nationalmarine.com click on the 30ft cig.American flag graffics .Maybe you could trade even.
