By way of an update, Jim put together a bid to the insurance company that closely matched the one done by the surveyor. It's an open ended bid, meaning that as they get started putting this thing back together and testing every system on the boat, if other things pop up that look like they were damaged in the original incident, the insurance company will pick up the tab on those items also.
So, are you sitting down? The total cost of the repair on items that have already been discovered....drum roll please.....$15,032.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Of that, around $6,400 is parts and $7,400 and change is labor. Some of the rest is sales tax. YOWZERS!!!
Thank heaven I bought a yacht policy and didn't skimp on the insurance coverage. I have to pay my deductible out of that $15K and the insurance company picks up the rest.
