Title: Boat repair(near my home preferably)
Post by: Bronzeback5LBER on March 07, 2006, 05:04:55 PM
I put a dent in my boat(hit a dock at kent) and was wondering if anybody had a suggestion where I could get it bumped out.I wasn't going to fix it but I might sell it so...also do you think I would have a problem with my insurance claiming it now since it happened last summer?I live in warren,and have had wilson marine do some work for me in the past and they did a great job but they're so far away.

hmmmmm, hit a dock at kent. wow, ain't to many of them at kent. can only think of boat launches, fishin' piers, boat rental place or sail boat marina (east launch).
anywho can't help you on your side of town, but if your happy w/wilson, they have another store off haggerty rd i believe its  in commerce. about half the way from brighton store.

The little docks at the boat launch,it was super windy and the wind was blowing my back end into the ramp so I gunned it just a little bit to get away from it and I caught the dock :'(,just bad boat handling,the wilson's in commerce is not a service center form what I understand.I was really happy with the one in Brighton,just kind of far to go,I wondered if maybe a body shop could do it or something I don't know never had to do anything like this before.

 did not know that abt wilson, commerce. my 1st boat came from wilson's. wouldn't hurt to find out from a collission shop.

There has to be someone closer to you although it is hard to go somewhere new when you have someone you have had a good experience with before.

I can ask our new sponsor - Worldwide Marine Underwriters (http://www.worldwidemarineins.com) your insurance question and see what he has to say. I don't know why they wouldn't still cover it, but I am not an insurance expert. Bob Luellen is though.
