The next day a deranged lady ran into our son's truck and the double trailer he was towing. His Yamaha FX HO and our Cruiser were on it and all were totaled, but he's okay.

The vacation from Hell for sure.

Holy sh*t! Glad to hear your son is okay but damm, that is tough luck.

btw....You didn't say anything to the insurance company about the blown engine in the Mariah did you? I wouldn't.......it will considerably lower the settlement value if the boat is a total loss from the accident.

The boat wasn't hit by anything, just the skis. Do you think insurance would cover the blown engine?

Yes, I wish the boat had been hit instead... in the rear!

No, the insurance wont cover a blown engine. If you figure your Mariah is a total loss just from the accident damages then i wouldn't mention anything about the motor unless you are specifically asked about it. I dont advocate lying but i do believe in only providing answers to questions that are specifically asked and not volunteering information when it comes to insurance.....
