I can't believe anyone on OSO would give a **** that someone was bragging about their boat kicking ass at a poker run.

I can't believe anyone would think that a manufacturer would not benefit from having their boat be the first to the card stops.

Insurance is high on cats because of statistics.

I'm not a Fountain guy either but after I read the article I laughed and thought : Way to go Reggie!

Based on the over $8000 premium for my 47 Lightning I would say they already have raised them in Florida.

It's about time you popped your head back up Frank.

Did you go to Jax?

Speed Racer should have used his secret weapons. I'm sure he has a saw blade that pops out of the side, or a tractor beam GO SPEED GO

Yep, I called for a quote on a 24 year old 22 foot Donzi Classic with a top speed of 60. They would only insure it for $9,000, and the quote was $1800 a year! I about fell out. I told him there are a bunch of people I know that own much newer, faster, and agreed values of up to 50G's, paying much less than that. I sat there looking at the donzi.net site, and was reading the premiums a bunch of them were paying. They were more in the range of $300 to $600 a year. I thought they must be punching something in wrong, to do it over again. This conversation went on for quite a while, I finally asked him how the hell could mine be so much higher, when I have never had any sort of claim. He asked me if the other boats lived in Florida. I guess they want us to pay for all the boats torn up in Miami last year.
I went with the $112 a year liability only policy.

Oh, by the way, they never asked if I ran in any poker runs, or what number boat I was at the first stop.

Hey Cuda:

Didn't do Jax this year, planning on: 4th of July, Labor day and Key West. As usual we will try not to pass any boats. Remember, its all about the alcohol you consume after the run!

Sorry to hear you're selling the machine. I will miss getting hosed down by the rooster.

Say hi to Deb.

Frank

$550/year state farm on my 22'Pachanga 17,500 agred value. $1800 /year is INSANE!!

Am I missing something here ?? I thought Ben Robertson moved over to the Cigarette Racing Team over the winter ??

LOL, now that's good comedy

Hey, more boats were torn up in PSL, Stuart and Boca Grande than Miamuh.. We're not always the bad guy bubba
