So glad to hear it! If I remember my insurance writing days, boat insurance isn't too high, if you don't have it, check into it. (Also includes liability-like the broken knee.) While your homeowner's would probably pick up the knee, if the limit ran out, the boat liability would pick up.

So, just got back into town and was able to take a good hard look at things now that I can move around without moaning in pain...
Crushed bow from impacting the large cottonwood that we then jumped over,
Entire right side of the windshield missing from the recovery outfit - they didn't mention what happened, and I won't ask. Hell with it.
Broken motor mounts,
Shattered bell housing connecting to the Jet Unit,
Shattered drive line,
Gas tank with a large groove cut in it from the Crank pulley resting on it and idling while we were momentarily unconscious,
Broken heat exchanger mounts and other various brackets.
This was still do-able, albeit about $12k - $15k worth of repair, but then my brother spotted the coup-de-grace : the hull has at least a 2" twist in it. That's a deal breaker.
The Ducky is toast.
Pretty sad day, that was a very nice boat and we had many very enjoyable adventures in it.
However... since this is a total loss for me, there's no point in dwelling on the sad things. I've got my eye on a very nice Silver Streak with a 502 Chevy Kodiak in it, Hamilton 212 Jet, Hard Top, Air Ride Seats, bench seats that fold down into beds, fully loaded with electronics, shrimp pot puller, stomp grate, rocket launchers, the works!
Christmas may just hit Wasilla here in about 3 weeks.

Too bad about Ducky but I sure hope you're on the "NICE" list.

Sorry about the boat, she gave her all from the sounds of it.
Can't wait for pics of your newest arrival!

May I suggest a “Only Rick Drives” sticker on the new boat?
Very glad to hear you are getting around a bit better!

Hard to remember this sometimes in the heat of the moment, but it's just a boat. Glad it was the boat that had a twisted spine, and not you.
And this thread reminds me, I need to go recheck the padlock on Brooke's garage

Yeah, no sticker needed... that lesson got hammered home at a high rate of speed as I bounced around a Marine Aluminum enclosure!
