Value Explanations
Manufacturers Suggested List Pricing - (January and May
editions ONLY) We have included manufacturers suggested
retail pricing to assist in the financing, insuring and appraising
of vessels. This pricing will appear in the High Retail column
for the current year only, if available. The value listed
reflects the approximate price of the boat when it is brand
new. The MSRP prices are furnished by the manufacturer and
are assumed to be correct.
Value Range - The values listed are derived from the
market place. These values are based on the boats overall
condition.
Used Trade-In (Low Book) - This column reflects the
average trade-in value of a clean used boat "ready for resale".
This may also be considered the low book value.
Average Retail - The average retail column reflects those
boats in clean condition with no visible damage or defects.
This boat will show some moderate wear and tear and will be
in running condition. The buyer may need to invest in either
minor cosmetic or mechanical work.
High Retail - The high retail column reflects those boats in
excellent condition. Like new!! This boat will show very little
wear and tear and all equipment will be functioning, and the
engine(s) are in good running condition. This boat has been
meticulously maintained or restored and will not require any
reconditioning.

High Retail values. The determination of which column
valuation is used is based on the lending institutions own
internal policies and guidelines.

actions, may order the actions consolidated, and may make orders
that avoid unnecessary cost or delay.

Goldstein, P.C. hereby moves this Honorable Court to Consolidate the above -captioned actions
for all purposes pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 213(a).
Plaintiff Progressive Northern Insurance Company filed the above captioned action in the

"A." Plaintiff and plaintiff-subrogee have alleged property damage to his boat allegedly docked
at Defendant's Marina on or about September 23, 2004. Exhibit "A." Defendant Marine
Properties, Inc. d/b/a Harrisburg Seaplane Base, improperly pled as Harris Marine, Inc., filed its
Answer with New Matter on or about. Exhibit "B."
Plaintiffs' complaint arises out of the same transactions or series of transactions as are
alleged in the matters of
• Progressive Northern Insurance Company, Subrogee of James Ford v. Harris Marine,
Inc., d/b/a Harrisburg Seaplane Base, Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, Case
No. 05-3270. Exhibit "C."

• Progressive Northern Insurance Company, Subrogee of Greg Sharrar v. Harris Marine,
Inc., d/b/a Harrisburg Seaplane Base, Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, Case
No. 05-3271. Exhibit `B."
• Progressive Northern Insurance Company, Subrogee of Edwin Ullom v. Harris Marine,
Inc., d/b/a Harrisburg Seaplane Base, Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, Case
No. 05-2264. Exhibit "F."
Upon information and belief the Plaintiffs' claims relate to flooding which occurred in
September 2004 as a result of the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. All of the plaintiffs' seek to
recover in subrogation for property damage claims paid to their insureds for damage to the
insureds' boats which were allegedly docked at Defendant's Marina in September 2004.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 213(a) provides:
In actions pending in a county which involve a common question
of law or fact or which arise from the same transaction or
occurrence the court on its own motion or on the motion of any
party may order a joint hearing or trial of any matter in issue in the
actions, may order the actions consolidated, and may make orders
that avoid unnecessary cost or delay.
These cases should be consolidated for purposes of discovery, arbitration and trial in
order to avoid unnecessary costs to both the Court and the parties and because all of the
aforementioned Complaints involve common questions of law and fact, and arise from the same

transaction or occurrences. Rozonowski v. Penn. Nat'l Mutual Casualty Ins. Co., 343 Pa. Super
7 (1985); Lohmiller v. Weidenbau?h, 302 Pa. Super. 174 (1982), rev'd on other grounds, 503 Pa.

which could result from multiple hearings and inconsistent rulings. Plaintiff's counsel does not
oppose this motion to consolidate.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Marine Properties, Inc. d/b/a Harrisburg Seaplane Base,
improperly pled as Harris Marine, Inc., respectfully requests the Court grant its Motion to
Consolidate the above captioned actions for all purposes under the caption and docket of
Progressive Northern Insurance Company, Subrogee of Raynond C. Santana, Jr. v. Harris
