Boat Rear-ended on trailer =(

[Nubbs]

Hey all,
My boat was rear-ended on my way home from the lake today. The only visible damage is to the jet nozzle and the bow eye. However, I'm concerned with any possible hidden damage. I think I should have it inspected by a professional. Do any of you have any recommendations? I'm in So Cal near Long Beach.
Thanks

Your insurance company may have some good recomendations, even if you don't hand it over to them.
Oh brother do you ever want someone who knows what he's looking at.
Sorry to read of your hassle,, hope it's all straightened out soon.

That has always crossed my mine. What horrific damage that could happen if my boat ever got rear ended. Im surprised no one has never invented some kind of bumper for that exact reason. I have seen some trailers that have a bumper on boats that have the outdrive always in the down positions like most cats. I never have seen any with V-bottom boats.

Have it all checked out. If it hit the pump hard enough it might have transfered the impact into the crank, that would be bad! :cry:

My last boat was rear ended in Havasu while waiting in line to launch, while I was at a complete stop! The guy smashed up my outdrive and prop with his Chevy Tahoe. Worst part about it was the boat only had 4 hours on it. Good luck man, I feel for ya!

No they make then like that. I have seen a few. They are usually on the huge high dollar boats with high dollar engines and drives. It is an extra option from the trailer manufacturers.

I would like to see a pic of that. It would seem to be worth the expense to have something like that, just in case.
