dock, i wouldn't have fuel base, rods, reels. my gross was 162,8. less boat expenses came out to 107,982. bookings netted to a gross net of $100,000 and they basically offered me $33,000. >> he turned down that offer and is now haggling to make up the difference. >> are you any more confident in the government running the claims process than you were in bp? >> there's always an air of optimism and the fact that the obama administration has gotten bp to put the $20 billion in escrow and supposedly a new regime is going to come in and handle the claims, yeah, there's ought michl. i hope it works out, but i'm suspicious. >> unfortunately, the bottom line is, he's probably going to have to take that initial offer and then refile additional claims every few months while his boats are out of business.
