My canidate for bomb of the year is Allstate insurance company.
Dec 21 1999 my son was towing my jetsled up interstate 5 about 1230 in the afternoon. Clear day no rain dry streets.
traffic slowed and the sled was rearended by a gal from california, she received a ticket from WSP. We were not contacted until jan 13 2000, and then they claimed our tail lights were not working properly. WSP disproved that fact. Allstate hired a "marine surveyor" loosely used term. He said my boat was worth 1500. scrap price was 80.00 I ahve had to hire an Attorney and another marine surveyor to disprove the original. My surveyor says my boat is comparable to a woolridge alaskan 18. Their surveyor says the boat is comparable to a hewescraft river runner. weled construction comapred to riveted construction and material thickness, mine is 140 thousands, hewescraft is .120 bottom .060 sides. PLEASE DO NOT USE ALLSTATE INSURANCE THEY WILL SCREW YOU. My insurance will not cover due to the fact my was towing the boat with his truck. His insurance says they will not cover because it is not his boat and the insurance commissioners office says they can do that legally.
Beware everyone who tows a boat and double check your insurance.
