> Hi Phil,
>
> I'm located in Boone, NC and am helping a friend. He's 70 years old
> and has owned his 1967 Evinrude 16' since 1968. He purchased it
> practically new and has kept it in his garage after every venture.
> It has little scratches, but just wear and tear. He brought it to
> us to repair a bearing and someone in a dumptruck with no drivers
> license came down our rear parking lot and hit it. The driver was
> an illegal, working for a construction company who is building and
> widening a highway in our town. A police report was filed, but now
> Zurich, the insurance company is offering my neighbor and friend
> either $1000 or 1500, I can't remember exactly. He wants $2500.00
> for the boat or whatever he can get to purchase another one. It
> means a lot to him, not to his wife, but him..ha Zurich said they
> saw one on Ebay for $1000 or $1500, but my insurance company said if
> I'd get three estimates on what people want for them, they would
> have to use those figures. Is there any way you could possibly help
> us? All he's asking for is $2500 and I don't think that's too much
> for the boat. I need to see if I'm thinking correctly and wanted an
> opinion for an expert on these boats, so I am turning to you.

> If you could possibly help me with this, I would truly appreciate
> it. He's a good friend and neighbor and whatever you tell me I will
> go with. Thank you so much Phil and I'm so glad I run across your
> website. Take care.

> Blessings to you,
