What a shame. It looks to me like the boat was dropped. I don't see how misplacing the lifting straps could do such damage.

Every year I paint and launch my boat.  Never had a leak ( other that a thru hull that needed  to be replaced).  This year my wife was ill and required my attention so I brought boat to a boatyard for painting, starting up engine and launching.  After waiting  several weeks they finally told me it was launched.  I got a call a few days later that it had partially sunk. I have no idea what they did but my boat and batteries were submerged and ruined. This is picture of the hull in front of keel with a crack that obviously occurred after they painted it.  They are claiming it was a pre existing condition but I know she was seaworthy last season and I would have noticed this when I power washed bottom. I'm thinking they either bounced it in ground or strapped wrong.  Has anyone else ever had a similar incident?
