Yesterday my wife and I went to the sand bar to have lunch . On the way I noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at about 8 mph and a shimmy in the motor .
When I got to the sand bar I raised the motor and find out it had been hit .
We went back to the marina and called the police . While we were waiting for them to arrive . I realized that this had to have been hit by a large boat .So I began to look at the other boats at the marina .
Two slips down there is a 26 ft Searay with black paint on the starboard side . When the police arrived ,I pointed this out while filling out the report ,they then inspected the Searay and agreed that the paint is about the same height as my damage ,and they also found wood on a screw of his rub rail that is consistent with my mooring post .They are going to question the owner .
I have my dealer coming out Monday to access the damage .
I will update as I get new information .
