Looks like someone had a bad day (a while ago)

I believe that the registration numbers are 2023. So it’s been there a couple years.

I asked Titus about it and he said it’s NPS decision on when/if it is pulled from the lake. He estimated it would cost over $15,000 for the salvage.

I’m not sure why NPS wouldn’t charge the boat owner for that. I know I have salvage on my policies. And the boat looked new enough it should have full coverage but one never knows.

2) Maybe the message here is: Ya gotta snug your tie straps......these things happen in a flash.....a nano second....and could have lifetime consequences.....

3) Wow, I sure sound old.....like my Dad.....

Thought it would be the insurance company problem…..if insured, and a claim submitted…..the insurance company should own the boat now.

I know it’s the law that you are required to have insurance, and many/most have a salvage provision so yes I guess it should fall to insurance. I thinks it’s required to remove them.

I asked that question to Executive Services and was told that no one checks for insurance on boats as they enter the lake. Only those with moorage agreements are checked. And that it would be up to NPS to pursue the registered boat owner to find the policy (which seems like it should have been done when the loss was reported to NPS in the first place (assuming this happened).

Kind of makes me curious how different jurisdictions handle that. When there is a car accident in Salt Lake City on I15, how does the local jurisdiction get paid for the clean up?
 
I knew a guy who sunk his boat at lake powell
Many years ago , he was uninsured he told the others on board to not tell anyone. He never reported the accident or loss of the boat. He continued to pay the loan off over time, he said because it was his fault and it was stupid he did ! I wonder how many accidents never reported.

That does not sound like a smart move. You have insurance for the “property”, if is not fault based. Unless it was an intentional act that caused the loss, insurance would pay for the insured property. Your future premiums would surely be impacted, but buying insurance on a boat, home, car and having a total loss and not filing the claim makes no sense to have insurance.

I curious how he had a loan on the boat and no insurance. The lienholder always requires full coverage insurance to protect their assests.

The guy was not a very reliable individual to say the least. He made many poor life choices. He had insurance when he bought the boat apparently let it lapse quit paying because he “couldn’t” afford it. Apparently the bank never found out. At least to his credit he paid the bank off even though he did not have the boat. Could have lied and reported it stolen, but not without insurance!
It is the law to have car insurance too, yet there are tons of people that don’t have it!
I got hit by one once, in a parking lot. Police would not issue ticket or do anything they said the accident was on private property !!! I said I don’t think she flew the car here without driving on a public road? She will be driving home in five minutes! They did nothing!
