Never parking at rotto jetty overnight again

Well bak to work for me tomorrow so I cleaned up the boat made it all tidy and put the covers On it for the three weeks away. Well Im Not happy with what I've found on the starboard side halfway alOng the boat there is cracks on the top above the rubber bump. This wasn't there before our trip to rotto On the weekend we parked on the fuel jetty at rotto overnight and stayed at the lodge and it looks like the dickhead who parked next to me used my boat as a means of slowing down I can't believe it all the care I take bringing it in to the ramp parking alongside jetties and some dickhead comes along and just smashes into it without even leaving a note. Even though I could find his rego from rotto rangers what chance do I have getting him to admit he did it can't believe it. At least it hasn't damaged the hull only the fiberglass that is above the hull but I'm still going to have to get it fixed

Hey Mate that sucks if thats what happened,He could of just owned up to it and said so, but can you be absolutely sure that in the middle of the night the tide didnt rise and slacken off your ropes?. It happens a lot more than you think then the boat bumps the pylons once or twice and thats all it takes in smaller vessels to crack  the glass.Not saying your wrong but has happen to me before woke up at 1 am and had to tighten ropes.

Na the only pylons at the fuel jettie is at the back and they were another 1.5 meters behind the boat like u say no way of knowing what happened and if it was the guy that payed for the pen next to me it's just a bit annoying that sOmeone did it and didn't have the nerve to let me know

Feel for ya mate. Hope not too much damage.

You only recently bought this boat didn't ya.  It hurts more being so new, it's like your baby.

Have you got a photo of the damage?
