Hi all,
My E38 was at her mooring in Dutch Harbor, RI when the remnants of the Noel storm came through on Nov. 3-4. Apparently my mooring dragged and my boat got hung up with a couple of others and they proceeded to hammer each other for several hours. My boat finally got hauled on Wed. and I just got back from surveying the damage.
The boat got wailed pretty good on the aft port side and transom. The rub rail is hosed and there's significant damage to the hull-deck joint as well as many deep gouges and depressions. Also, the rudder has a 'slice' clear to the shaft likely caused by being sawed on by a cable. Lastly the stern and bow pulpits are mangled and the boarding ladder is gone.
Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed but I'm trying to assess how bad off this damage is. What's are the group's thoughts? Can the hull/deck joint and other stuff be repaired "good as new"? Any insight greatly appreciated.
