yet another sad twist to this tragedy...

when driving to miami beach yesterday, i saw the Joe Cool sistership, the Sissy Baby docked off Hibiscus or Star Island. Sissy Baby operated by the same company suffered a serious fire a month ago, which gutted the interior. she was on my dock for a while after being towed in, a sad sight.

there was another Buddy Davis, also light blue hull next to her, must have been the Joe Cool
 
That second link pretty much explained things, but it was difficult watching the video of the grandfather. Too bad a few bucks have to tear a family apart whose already suffered so much loss.

Would it not make sense to delay selling the boat until after all the evidence mentioned is placed back aboard?

Where does insurance play into this type of thing?
 
I'll bet the feds did a "great" job of removing items, and would do an even better one of replacing them.
 
Seriously, I know there are some insurance types on here. Would your insurance pay for damage done by law enforcement as was the case with this boat?

Who was responsible for paying dockage expenses while this boat was part of an investigation?

Obviously that's not the main focal point of this tragedy, but I was just wondering why the boat's value is only that of salvage unless the insurance company has already paid off on a claim. Even after a year, this whole thing is still very disturbing.
 
I love the lines on a Buddy Davis.

They should tie those boys to a tree in the swamp and let nature take its course.....

The government stopped caring about property rights around 1865.

"My friends", dealings with the government at any level, is a scary proposition these days, the higher the worse. You can't sue them (you can? When is that? And to what end- you are out massive money; they have massive OPM- other peoples money). You've heard of Osama's cousin, Cudda Bin Wurse...

You are wrong you pay a huge fine or go to jail. They are wrong, you pay expensive court costs and they get a paycheck and a nice pension--both of which you paid for. Of course, that is if you actually get to confront them!

Heads they win, tails you lose!
 
Krushter, my comment about insurance liablity had nothing to do with the government. I was just curious as to whether or not this type damage would be covered.

The government still tore apart somebody's property.
 
So? They were investigating a triple murder. That still has nothing to do with insurance coverage.
 
As far as i know insurance does not pay for damge done by law enforcement.

You would have to read you individual yacht policy however.
 
Thanks Steve, I was hoping you'd chime in. Surely there's a difference in coverage for such things when you are the victim of a crime as opposed to someone who has used his boat in an illegal manner. Then again, who knows?

Did I mention I hate insurance companies? :)

So? They still damaged personal property. What if there was a drug deal gone bad on your street in front of your house and the law guys somehow got a warrant and decided to tear apart your house? What are you gonna do about it....yeah, nothing.
 
You just can't seem to come to grips with the fact I was asking about insurance where something like this is concerned.

No doubt if someone breaks into your boat and vandalizes it, you'll be covered minus your deductible. I hope and pray I never have to find out how an insurer would look at a situation such as "Joe Cool", but I am curious. More than anything, I hope the family wasn't left holding the bag on this one.

MIAMI (AP) — An Arkansas man convicted of murdering four people aboard the Florida charter boat "Joe Cool" will spend the rest of his life in prison.

A Florida judge sentenced Kirby Archer to five consecutive life terms Tuesday as tearful family members and friends of the victims looked on. The 36-year-old Archer pleaded guilty in July to first-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping and hijacking the boat last year after it left Miami for the Bahamas.

The plea spared Archer the possible death penalty, although he admitted in court that he deserved to die.

Prosecutors say Archer hijacked the boat to escape child molestation and theft investigations in Arkansas.

A mistrial was declared earlier this month for a second man accused in the slayings.
