this is what you can expect wen you have to use a compulsory valet service to pull out
that was mi first pull out after my first days with my new boat.
the compulsory valet service pick me in the water with my 5 passengers, the guy drove my car , pick the boat with us inside
and run with everything and refuse to stop when I told him. 200 feet's later something happen

Incroyable, Aviro! :cry: So you were there and saw it happen? (It's not your boat).When they took your boat out it missed the high-tension wires, but this boat hit the wire? That could have been much more serious than it was - four burn injuries.

Now I understand Aviro, because I knew you had a blue hull. A very scary thing; sorry for the loss of your boat. I wish everyone a speedy recovery.
