If I don't have insurance, God forbid something happens. As my girlfriend said, Insurance premium numbers are as big as our go fast egos!!

Am I missing something here? Did you re-power your boat or something? Because to me, an $8k increase in one year warrants some questions and explanations if your boat hasn't changed.

I must be living in a hole. Are there a bunch of idiots out there crashing the piss out of their cats that I haven't heard about? I boat at LOTO a lot and I've never heard of any cat accidents ever and that lake is a hot bed with them.

Why is the cat insurance industry taking this turn????

Emotion Driver from here, sold his Motion due to Ins rates I think. :mad:

They will slowly put the speed boat business out of reach for most :mad:

If they slowly put the speed boat business out of reach for most, does this make them think that only the guys who can afford it are the better drivers?

Who here, would keep their boat and continue to pay an insane rate increase like what Lube has experienced?

If a 21 year old kids can AFFORD a 36' Nortech then he can afford the insurance to go with it!

I did repower the boat. BUT, they said the magic number is 100 MPH. As soon as your over 100 in a cat your screwed. I was over 100 before the repower. I can see if I had a bad driving record or an excessive amount of claims. I have never had a claim. Anytime I have ever had any minor incident in my car, boat or with one of my employees having a minor incident, I have always paid out of my pocket. I guess that will change in the future. But then again, I will be screwed even worse!!

I am with you Lube if my insurance was that high I would have to sell my boat. That is rediculous. I feel lucky paying 800 for my 18 Donzi with a 6 month layup. That is just way to painfull to even think about.

May want to call up Sy for some insite anyhow.
