Pulled the boat yesterday. I know all you Chesapeake Parker owners will say why, but with the holidays coming and the kids having things the next few weekends I will not have chance to use the boat. So yesterday should have been a good day to pull the boat.
The marina uses a fork lift to pull the boat and I always request Tim to run the fork lift. I tip him 20 bucks before he starts and he is always very carefull. Anyway after he lifts the boat out of the water and starts to move away from the hull out area the boat slides back and the motor hits the fork lift and cracks the cowling. After pulling the cover the black plastic shroud around the engine is cracked too. The good thing is the marina said they will repair or replace the cover. BTW Tim apologized repeatly. I guess shi_ happens.
I don't seem to have to much luck, last year someone hit and ran my boat and did $5200 damage to the bow and bow rail.
