mad_mullet Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 hi people last thursday 8-9-11 6am in the morning i was woken by a huge bang, a car travelling along henry lawson drive in east hills lost control viered off the road and strait through my fence and slammed my boat that hard it jumped it 3 feet off the trailer and into our loungeroom wall, the impact was so great it shifted the house 2 inches off its foundations, the boat came crashing back down to bend the trailer and land strait again,my bedroom being 5 metres behing the boat im thinking myself really lucky, they said if it werent for the boat being there the car would have been in our kitchen on the other side of the house, just goes to show the strength of a good old bertram,luckily all of our family are safe and still walking and there was no casualities from the car, i have attached a link from channel 10 news of the event, if you take notice the concrete slab of veranda has been moved a foot of the house and its hard to see but on the front of the house where the cladding has a hole there is a blue mark from the blue gunnel rubber of the boat,,, all i can say is we are all lucky no one was injured in our family and a new boat mad mullet 2 is on the way cheers andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheap charlie Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Far out Andy. Glad every one. Involved is unharmed! Will they be able to correct the foundation issue? Sounds like an insurance company is about to spend a lot of money Edited September 15, 2011 by Cheap Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Squidy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Wow, that car must have been going at some clip. Glad to hear everyone was ok. I reckon there's a few fish out there cursing their luck that a new and improved mad mullet is on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pongrass18ft Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey andy i live just up the road from you , heard of a car in a house the other day and that it was quite bad.Driving to work yesterday i saw mad mullet But still didn,t realise your house was the comotion the other day all i thought was bloody hell you,ve put mad mullet through some sought of war zone . The main thing your all un hurt and boats , houses etc all can be fixed.Remember years back the truck went through the duplex up at the roundabout and they were at work how lucky were they also. Can,t wait to see mad mullet 2 chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right after you finished all the improvements on the old gamefisher. I'd hate to see such a great boat gone from my local waterway I hope you manage to get the mess sorted out and fix her up to better than previously with a bit of luck.

Pongrass18ft Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Alot of people are un insured these days , great to see your insurance has rectified everything smoothly. Well worth having in my books , even if you never make a claim you can sleep at night. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
