I'm sure glad he was wearing his kill switch lanyard:mad::mad::eek: Glad nobody was hurt after it went 500 feet across the beach !!!

F*&%KING BRILLIANT!!
"What's that little thing for? Must just be for decoration." He's lucky he did not kill anyone.

Thanks for raising my insurance rates! :mad:

couldnt have said it any better.....

Damn. A hard lesson learned the hard way...again.

1.) Fastech don't go 90 !

2.) Always wear the thingy !

3.) That beach is an Island,
yes thanks God no one was hurt !

:angry-smiley-038:

It's a 2003 35 Fastech, called "Formula for Success."
Any OSO'ers know this guy?

Every time I get on board my boat, I strap on lanyard!

Anybody get any picks of it up the beach?

It was a sunny 80+ degrees yesterday and there was a lot of boats/people out.
I can't believe the boat went a mile without hitting anyone!
The "ticket" he got is a joke!:hothead:

MarylandMark posting such would have had a totally different context! :evilb::eek::drink:

it will with 575's and boxes

more ammo for the goverment to regulate good boaters. Yes, I would also like to thank this dink in advance for my rates being so cheap.

I think,,,, note "think". I know that boat and talked to the owner some months ago. It was up for sale. There aren't that many 353's around here. I put in at Tarpon sometimes.
I am courius if it was stored on the racks at Anclote Marine. If it's the same.. ?? When I saw it, it was a mnvsdfgurg junk with one blue motor missing.

Just wondering out loud. :rolleyes:

Who cares about the insurance!!! It is the doo gooders that are going to read this and have more fire power to try and take the fun out of boating.

They take away his boat and auction it for charity... dumba$$!

Totally in the wrong hands...and yes this does nothing but bad things for insurance rates :angry-smiley-038:

you sure?

With just a little engine and prop work, yes ... they will!

never seen it first hand, but thats what ive seen on here before.. 575's boxes 90.

The sandbar...

Insurance Quote For The Operator Of This Boat
 

I got an e mail request for an insurance quote from Mr. Helmintoller on 11/26/07.I'm looking for creative responses to this request.:evilb::evilb::evilb:

Forget the funny response, let him apply for insurance (and commit fraud) and turn his azz in to the authorities. I can't stand scumbags!:mad::(:eek:

Are you serious, he's asking for a quote a day after his accident? :eek:

Send him the picture in my above post, with a quote for the full purchase price of a brand new 35 Fastec. :D

Now that is classic! :eek:




On a seperate note.......what if the boat nearly missed someone and they got pissed off and showed up at his house with a shot gun and killed him because they got his address from this article? Is it legal to print a persons name and street address like that? We have means to find out this kind of information but making it public like that, is that ok?

Usually articles will say somethink like "K. Helmintoller of Land O'Lakes, FL"..... but not the dudes address.

Formula Insurance
 

I'm getting him a quote from BAGHDAD CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY with a 110% deductible.

I wonder how long it ran wfo sitting there digging that hole?:D

I'm glad you noticed that....first thing I saw, too. Talk about some dredging. :eek:

I was wondering the same thing. Must of made one hell of a sound just winding off by itself! I wouldn't want to come up beside it with the motors bouncing off the rev limiters.

Are we going to see an ad forthis on Coopers?

"Owner only rode in boat for a short time".

Best argument for Tres Martin's school and wearing the lanyard. Formula not an easy boat to be ejected from. This guy is really an amateur. Who clocked this boat at 90 anyway? Did there just happen to be a cop with his radar gun there? Maybe a little media sensationalism?

My buddy down at Tickfaw came up on the Cig in the trees and shut it off,said it was shooting a pretty good rooster:rolleyes: it was on the rev limiter.:eek:


I would guess on a 525efi it would go into gaurdin mode 3500? then run hot and seize?

Does anybody know what would really happen ????

....and no driver.:eek:

Incredible....just how hard is it to put your lanyard on??? Don't they make wireless one's now? I thought I'd seen one advertised somewhere....

The killer here is he's trying to get insurance now after the fact...lol...not the sharpest pencil in the box...

They wouldn't do that.....would they ?;):D

I keep my boat on that river and frequent Anclote Key as well as 3 rooker. He would have killed someone of it was the weekend. The water is very calm there and the only thing is wakes from fishing charters and large fishing boats. (I have been known to get airborne).

Steve, Did he run through Rookers? Dave

I just got an email from one of my neighbors thinking I might get a kick out of this...Helmintoller is a Vice President for Metlife here in Tampa. Would think someone in the insurance business would know better!

It doesn't get much better than that, does it?:angry-smiley-038:
