Should have called dive winni 5k is way way overpriced to take out a over sized 4 wheeler.... He got our sled out of the channel for 500 a few years back. all the tow companys around here are a rip off. The guy who went threw in Alton bay was getting charged 500 and hour for two days.... If his first call way to dive winni his truck would have been out of the ice only getting the wheels wet....

Well unfortunately when something like this happens you don't have the opportunity to put it out for bid. You make your first call to whoever came recommended the most and this instance it was Gulbicki's.

They worked a total of four hours with three divers from Fathom Diving (two in water one on the ice controlling equipment, filling air bags, etc, etc.) 5 or 6 people from Gulbicki's cutting out the ice, working the come alongs and placing and working boards under the vehicle. As well as having two towing snowmobiles, a flatbed wrecker and having the Ranger towed to Manchester I don't feel I was ripped off. I don't think $500.00 would have covered the equipment rental cost if I tried to do it myself. Was it expensive...Yup. Was it worth it...You bet!

Well....it's no doubt pretty much a mute point on how much Gulbicki charges considering they did a very good and very fast job and the insurance policy just costs one hundred dollars/year. Having an Allstate-Progressive-State Farm-Geico etc puts your accident repair-retrieval into a whole different league than when someone is self-insured.

No doubt, a lower price can be found when not having insurance makes it a prerequisit to get it done for less. If insurance is paying, then the price is the ins co's problem.

One hundred dollars sounds kinda low......buy I have no clue on insuring atv-ranger vehicles and know that insuring a boat costs more tha one hundred.

Insurance seems to have all different prices. I know I used to pay over $4000/year for a commercial motor vehicle policy on a 1994 Geo Tracker in Boston that had only $50,000 liability with no collision and no comprehensive from Zurich Ins. It was all I could get and $50,000 liability is definately not enough. There's folks in Boston who purposely stage real fake-accidents, and they go looking for commercial vehicles so's they can get rear-ended and then go to the emergency room for a sore neck-chiropractic-attorney care.....

. Here in NH I pay $550 to Progressive for $500,000 liabilty-collision-comprehensive on a residential type car policy which is very different than the Boston commercial rates.


Glad to hear no one was injured....

What were you delivering - pizzas? I didn't think a Tracker was worth $4000.

If it's a mute point, does that mean when you talk about it no one hears you?
