all she said was The wind drifted the boat into the rocks and then rangers had to push the boat off and pull with a rope to dock. it was her worse experience ever she said, she scared to get on the water now and she had my 3 year old son with her!!

Being that its a tahoe, I'm sure it will be considered a total loss. But they will require more than at least 3 separate quotes from glass shops.. Tahoes are built a little on the thin side as it is and being that close to NADA, I can't imagine they would try to repair it. If I were you, I'd claim it a total loss and find out what the buy back price is. It's usually 80% of what the average bid at the auction would be. So if you were able to buy it back for $2k and shop out the repairs, you could come out on top. Even better if you're willing to tackle the repairs yourself..
