nhinshoreangler Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Sadly this happened to a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago while he was on vacation. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. The guy driving the SUV was texting and did not have adequate insurance. My friends boat policy will cover the boat, motor and trailer and the package was considered totaled. While looking at the boat, the insurance adjuster was highly impressed the transom and hull did not suffer any damage considering the force of impact and commented what a well made boat it is. Being in New England, he knew nothing about Pathfinder Boats. With the boat, motor, trailer being totaled he will be in the market for a new one. Pathfinder sales, is there any help or tips you can offer? We are not Pathfinder dealer rich up here. Kudos to the hull! Thanks in advance!

Tarpon Terry Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Wow!! Quite an impact Certainly looks like the motor and the other guy's car are really damaged. Motor might be totaled. Besides the trim tabs, what was the damage to the boat hull and trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhinshoreangler Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 According to my friend, the cost the repair the current boat, motor and trailer were higher than agreed current value. The boat, motor and trailer were considered totaled by the adjuster. The tough part for my friend is paying the extra price for a new one. The hull has very little damage which is why the adjuster was impressed with the construction of the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyshon Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hard to say really... From the looks of the car and the engine there could be serious internal damage. The Stringers are tied into the Transom, an impact that severe probably busted the Stringers loose from the hull. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhinshoreangler Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes that's what I told my friend. Thanks Skip, he bought the 2300 HPS at Reynolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhinshoreangler Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 "The Stringers are tied into the Transom, an impact that severe probably busted the Stringers loose from the hull." The impact was hard enough to push the boat forward with enough force to bend the vertical bar that holds the winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang190 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 The hull is totaled. Safe bet the stringers are busted not to mention the transom is probably cracked internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
