The $5000.00 was worth every penny considering the fines that the D.E.S. imposes if it's in the water more than 72 hours!!

I do not expect replacement value as the Ranger was not new. My insurance company knows what I paid for it and what extras were added and at what cost. All I expect is what I paid for it + extras, minus any depreciation and the deductibles. Not looking to gain anything, that's just not my way...

Sorry to hear that Dan...I agree with you, I would not be happy trying to dry it out and get it running again either. I just always "would know" it was in the water. And maybe when you most need it, it would decide it didn't want to start for you.

If it's do-able for you get your payment and look for something else. Maybe you can find a left over '09 heading into the spring. I don't know but assume it's your (only) mode of transport in the winter to your place. Well...Chin up...Your still around to tell the story anyways!!!

I've read in one of those backpage articles in the Union Leader that about 41% of NH boaters are boating with no insurance, so it seems likely to apply to snowmobiles and atv's too.

Removing a Ranger from 15' wihout insurance probably ends up costing a whole lot less than Gulbicki's $5000 removal fee when the uninsured owner calls around and chat's up the tow removal-diver co; "Ranger down 15'-no insurance-whatcha gonna deal me buddy?" You can alway, always, always find someone from Groton or Thornton or Alton or somewhere who will do a good job for a lot less. There's always someone willing to do it for less, when it's cash with no insurance, plus you end up with a Ranger that came back from the deep and still runs.

That's the way that the uninsured 41% seems to get by, and it usually works out ok.
