You just answered your own question, "she" lol, leave it to a chick in a full size suv.

Hopefully the damage isn't too bad

With good reason. When my wife backed into my 311, I thought the only damage was a propeller imprint in her trunk lid. Next time I took the boat out, the lower blew apart. I'm guessing a gear either cracked or chipped from the impact.

Now I'm. Pissed. Boat was supposed to go under the knife today. Drove by at lunch boat is still under cover and backed in where its been since last monday. I called anx they say its in the shop and when mechanic gets back from lunch. Well 2 pm still no movement. 530 still no movement. My ins adjuster will be here at 8.30am to go over mechanics report. So that will delay the process. I have had two friends who have experienced the same last summer. If my boat isnt in work bay in the morning i am jumping ship with these clowns. If i cant take on new customers i politely refer to another hvac contractor or i break my back to work them in. If this shop and i are not on the same page before repairs are started where are we going to be if they miss something....

My ins company has used this group before. I will hold back on the name but they cater to the bass boaters. The mech is versed in high hp stuff but its not the primary direction they like. If it goes sour most likely it will then i am going to a perf shop down by lake martin. Long drive but best hp guy in the state. I know i dont have high hp but go fast mechs understand the forces involved and look after one another.
