So this all started 4 years ago been I brought a B42 in from the USA as there aren’t many here in NZ and mistakenly I thought it would be cheaper,hmmmm How wrong was I ,lol
The story starts in earnest when the boat arrived via Dockwise float on float off service, unfortunately they encountered a heaven head quarter sea for most of the journey and after the weeks of spray landing on my boat the bilge pumps ran the batteries dead and so when the boat arrived it had about 12/14 inches of water in the bilge which had risen above the start batteries and everything was fried, and so the nightmear began, the insurance company would cover it but I had to pay for it first and then claim it back, which worked out ok in the end but I had to cash flow it out and the bill got out to 80k as everything including the gen set was fried or rusty or just plan damaged, in hindsight I wish they had just paid me out and written the boat off
