My friend Joe from Ny just took your class,he gave me all the answers!! Just kidding,I didnt realize you had a separate class for under 80mph.Just got my Extreme boat mag today and it also said the same thing.Tres how much is that particular class??Does markel offer a discount upon completion?

I took Tres' class late last year and total agree with eliminatethis. I also learned much useful info out of the class. I always thought that I know how to operate a performance boat until I took the class; I drive my boat different now (still fast but safer). Thanks Tres.

That class is only 995. It is a full day event with film and Power point presentation. Its an easy upgrade to the next class, and yes Markel will give the discount! Brad is fully involved in that class and you guys will have a great go of it when you get into the class.

I saw that you are doing a course at LOTO coinsiding with the shootout. How much is that one? I would definately be classified in the under 80mph, I am lucky to go 70mph in the old resin bucket.

I will have to try and sell my wife on the idea (really, we should both be taking the class). Not sure if I will get to do it this year or not, but I definately want to take the course in the next couple years.

Tres,Im about 6hrs drive from you,when do you have classes running?I know brad from the florida powerboat club as well.

I am currently with Markel,what type of discount might I see??
Will this class count towards the full high performance class you have? I will be looking to upgrade possibly.

Tres 04-30-2007 05:02 PM

Yeh beleive it or not we keep getting request for a special class just for women drivers. So we may do it.

Ironmanwb 05-01-2007 03:36 PM

Are you still coming to Port Clinton OH? I know that I was asked about your class and I would love to take but $$ is a little short and I may not have a performmance boat for a little while but I would still like to take it . Let me know. Thanks.

BillR 05-02-2007 01:52 PM

I too took the class. LOTS of good info. I feel I can drive safer and more comfortably than before. It is money well spent.

Of couse the guys around here think they know more than anyone, so they think it is a waste of money. Stupid is as stupid does.

Tres' class is a must do!

Port Clinton is still on the calender. The skills learned are certainly skills of a lifetime. Sign up and get your friends to sign up so everyone can benefit.
