Wow....
I am feeling like I must have lucked out or something on the insurance thing. I did not realize that I was getting such a good deal. I hope it stays that way. Makes me a little worried.

I'm no expert on insurance, but I think it has more to do with where you boat. I also have everything with State Farm and have been there for 30 years. So I'm sure our treatment was pretty equal in the quotes. I'm in Texas and we boat all year with no lay up period.

An addendum on Progressive Insurance. Check out this list of exclusions: http://watercraft.progressive.com/bo...insurance.aspx
I love the 75 mph max speed for runabouts but up to 90 mph max speed for bass boats

Not the case.... there are plenty of Heats up here and I've heard of insurance ranging from the $550 to $1800 with a 525 in an 07 boat. Just depends on who you go with I guess.

Thanks southocg, that makes me feel a little better.
Bobl, we can boat here aprox 8 months out of the year depending where you go. Eastern Washington is quite warm.

Congrates you will love her. We have 116 hours on ours and only had a oil leak in a hose and Tim took care of it.We just spent a week on her went to the dam . We put 467 miles and some fuel.With all my caming gear two ice chest 5 gal propane 2 stoves and food with the water tank full and fuel we could still hit 70 mph.Ask Tim we keep this boat full.We LOVE her. We just got our insur. and we could not find any less than $1800.They said we were high risk because we had not owed a performance boat. I told them I had owned a boat for over 20 years and even work and tested boats for a living.We had to go with Dallar Insur.Send pics. as you get them. Hey Chris are you the guy that called me on Nordic boats?? Thank you C n T Smith

Yes,
I talked to you about your 525 boat that you got from Tim.
I sure appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.
I went for the 600sci motor.
Tim is absolutely awsome!
I could not imagine a better boat dealership.
So far, he has done everything to the n-th degree as far as customer service goes.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oregon Custom Marine!

CB-BLR,
Have you looked into the Raylar 550? It's a small block and considerably lighter than the Merc's, and I think cheaper. I really think it'd be a great application in a single 28. The weight savings could result in performance similar to the 600sc, but at lower cost.
Of course, it's easy for me to speculate with your money.
I do hope someone puts one of these in a Heat, AT, Pantera 28 though to see how it runs.

we also like the Merc 600 SCI , but the final pricesticker on the boat will be much higher

Very cool.
Will you post some numbers, etc in the general forum as I believe a lot of us would like to hear about this package.
Thanks.
