How's insurance on that NorTech? And why selling/parting?
Correct.

All that was left was the drives to salvage and no coverage.

Florida, cat, turbine, and speeds drove premiums through the roof. Todd has a lot of toys (boats, cars, etc) most everything he has is covered and I know he tried like hell to grt that cat covered

Normally I agree with what you say but turbine insurance is easily attainable, that's not a good excuse!!

If I was an agent I'd run. You'd be looking for a real moron to be willing to cover a 200mph turbine cat.

Everybody has their opinion, but the simple fact is that they will write it.

Howard Arneson was building Sanger Alley cats with small turbines in the 1980's.

Mine is through Stacey at Wakezone. It's a program they started maybe 3-4 years ago.

PPS has successfully repaired a large percentage of the turbine boats out there. Keep a eye out for these beautiful boats this year as there are several of them with fresh power from PPS.

Do they sponsor pretty much all of SBI though no matter the class of boat?

I'm sure this is a stupid question but in my logical thought process I cant see why it wouldn't work, Why not run these turbines like an airplane and use there thrust to push the boat instead of a prop?
