Aww, Dan, I'm sorry—is it majorly damaged or did it just take on some water?

Sorry to see this. Lived on The Broads for decades! We spent a lot of money on a chain mooring to prevent mishaps in bad weather but always find a weak link!
Decades ago we were able to leave our boat at Glendale during inclement weather but docks usage changed. Even Gilford shore residents have to abide by the 3 hours rule which is not fair.

Water in the gas?
Sorry to see that, Dan. Even though it started right up, I'd be concerned about water in the gas--not sure where the tank is located, but I've had gas contaminated by water working its way into the tank through the vent. May not a problem until you get near the bottom of the tank.

It’s now in the hands of Winnisquam Marine who will get everything taken care of over the winter. Dan

We have one boat out on Bear presently, but it looks like it was fine from what I can see on the cameras. Will have to watch this next storm as Ian heads up the coast. |

Sounds like the motor is intact, that is a major plus. Hopefully if there is an issue with the hull you can get it fixed over the winter.

The boat has been dropped off at WOW marine for winter storage and full repair and Progressive insurance has been notified and they have responded and reacted quickly thus far... Hopefully this will be all behind me come spring... Hope all is well! Dan

I'm sure it'll be good as new come spring. I'll know by Friday if my boat survived Ian, or if I'll be in the market for a new boat. There are upsides either way

Sebago had a few issues as well..
The wind was crazy with 4-5 foot waves crashing on my beach and dock. Here are a couple of the casualties.

The upside of having a lake front home and boats is, there is a lot of fun that can be had. The downside, is there are times when the weather is bad, and you have to hope for the best.
We will see what Ian brings us, and then I will go up on Saturday, and see what I see.......
