Im STILL having issues with this insurance crap.

Its not that I cant do it but I wont on principal and the 23% interest rate they want they can go jump in a ditch!
So now the $ has worked its way up almost another grand in finance fees and documentation fees and administrative fees and all this other hokey Bullchit!
This plan offered wind insurance on the boat too which was nice but im just getting really frustrated with this whole florida insurance thing. Maybe its time to move back to PA and pay a normal insurance company a normal rate and use the boat a few months out fo the year and that will be that.
Yea, I kind've heard that the insurance market really took a hit after Katrina in Fl. and getting wind ins. is close to impossible. But if you have a fairly good indoor storage that is supposed to withstand a large hurricane then I guess like M.M. said, "Liability" baby!

We toy with the idea of moving out to maybe Ft. Lauderdale or Islamorada or something. But that is one of my main concerns.

Total Dollar is taking care of me, John Posey has my back, Finalizing a few details that are minor and that hurdle will have been taken care of. Have not gotten down to the boat in the last few weekends since it rains every saturday and sunday. Going to try again tomorrow but weather permitting. Hell I have not cut my lawn in 2 weeks from all the rain, its nuts. That also reminds me I need to talk to Bill soon to see what the status of Fort Mazzoni is!

No John is the insurance agent, No one wrenches on my boat but me PERIOD. If I need help then I get Herb Stotler on the phone. Oh holy one would be the only one I would contract for "boat stuff" Herb "engine Stuff" if it was something I could not do myself but so far for the most part there has not been anything yet.
And yes I damn skippy would tow my apache to PA for Ike to work on it and then Tow it back to FL.
Thats Loyalty and trust for ya right there in black and white.

No mark not interested, this is a relatively minor problem not requiring 40-50 grand worth of engines thanks though

Did this minor problem get fixed yet? I'm just wondering if you ended up tearing down that engine and where the lifters disappeared to!! That sounds really strange to me and also, if the lifters where gone how did the pushrods look fine?
