These are the pictures from the repair estimate. The pictures I took are too big to attach. These are the only ones included in his estimate so they are the only ones I can attach.

Re: Catrostrophic hull failure
Without seeing how it was blocked I will reserve judgment . I have seen that before on other brands , and in most cases the hull was full of water . I also had seen cinderblocks used if one breaks the hull falls and the rest are driven into the hull .

Re: Catrostrophic hull failure
I worked at Trojan Yacht (Lancaster, PA. Facility) and I can assure you that the hull on the meter boats were built extremely durable. We actually did a drop test to see if the material joining the hull and the inner liner was bonding correctly.
Sounds like the marina needs to revisit their storage blocking procedures...
Good Luck.

Re: Catrostrophic hull failure
I was at a marina today looking at a boat. Every boat at the marina was blocked like this (one under the bow and one at each aft corner). There was no support of the keel midway or aft. I don't know if any of those boats ever suffered catastrophic hull failure, but I certainly wouldn't buy a boat that was blocked like that. Who knows what damage was done to the hull. I can't believe people would risk damaging a hull to save the cost of a few more cinder blocks.
