Emergency lowering of water level leads to standup find

[JT_Freeride]

I tried to insure my ski and basically I was told by the agent almost nothing is covered if anything happens in the ocean. All am parts aren't covered. They would only pay the price of the ski which to them is $2200
Edit. This was with gieco

2200.00 to me is better than a total loss..granted I won't insure mine, but that rule applies to auto insurance as well, they generally won't pay for AM upgrades.

Any more word from the FB page as to the original owner?? I know a lake up near Fresno had to be lowered and all kinds of stuff was coming up. Old settlements and burial grounds, that kinda stuff.

I wonder how it sank with the hood still on?

I know mine has this weird tendency to end up Upside down after high speed wipeouts ( and magicly will Keep running). With the Current (all be it slow) Perhaps a lousy swimmer he (or she) Losses sight of it in rough water, and.... History.

this one looks like it Floated away, so could be Loose fitting at the Stinger, bad hull bushing.

There was an article that they found a car in there.

I think it realized it was outclassed by every other ski ever made and simply committed suicide......

So harsh man..... so harsh.
I better go make sure my ski is still in the garage and didnt roll itself into traffic....

I had to go give mine a pep talk. Supposedly there is a support group it's a part of, I'll have to get the info...

 

[sxipro02]

I just feed mine green bling to keep it happy. Save mine a seat at the next meeting, these kawis need all the support they can get

Was there any damage/cracks/holes to the hull?

 

[Matt_E]

Not that I know of. The hood was securely latched.
Owner has not been located, but it has been confirmed to not have been reported stolen.

 

[BruceSki]

Any updates?

 

[Matt_E]

The water level is finally allowed to go back up. All repairs to the dam have been completed. I have never heard any follow-up on that Kawi. Sorry guys.

 

[FlightPlanDan]

It was returned, the owner sprayed it all down with WD-40 and it ran fine.

That kawasaki was placed there on purpose.
