The difference is that if I do have an accident and unfotunately someone gets seriously injured or killed, I have the insurance to pay for that persons medical care or compensation to the family. Now if YOU seriously hurt someone or kill them you are also sticking them with the bills too. I also have the coverage to replace there boat as well if there is one involved, but there again you would be leaving them with the bill too. Selling your boat will do nothing if somone gets hurt, the medical bills will exceed your boat very quickly, and then they will come after everyhing else you own. And I guess you feel as that is what you would deserve, but that victims don't deserve to have to go through years of legalities in order to get it from you if you even have the amount necessary to give.

Who will write liability only insurance on a Hi-perf. boat? Please send them my way... BTW, all of our boats are insured now.....

"WHAT IF" sells alot of insurance policies and good thing your paying based on statistics :lolhit: everyone should call Snakefarm today and add Life Insurance in case something happens. Im forced to spend over 20k a year in insurance for business and yes boat is insured too but I hate insurance companies :angry-smiley-038:


It’s not about “safety,” If you have to argue, than consider that you are allowed to drive without any coverage or any capacity to pay for damages. You just pay the state a fine rather than the insurance company if you get caught. Majority of people don’t have accidents and the insurance companies know this and they bank on it- Literally

wow

This thread is scaring the helllll out of me

Why can't everyone just lay off mcprodesign? Is this not the land of the free? If he wants to take his chances without insurance then he has every right to do so. The same should remain true with health insurance. This will be my only post on this thread as I will not get drawn into a debate. The piling on by fellow boaters is disgraceful IMO.

If you can't afford $2000-$4000 for insurance for the year, you shouldn't have one of these boats.

I fill my boat up 3 times and it is the same as my insurance cost for the year.
We are playing in a high dollar, high risk game and those of us who do have insurance have to pay for those who don't when the sh!t hits the fan.
I have seen the best in the world have accidents, damage from acts of nature or other incidents.
To say be more careful and you will be fine is irresponsible and foolish.

Why not ? Tell ya what,,,,, im going to slam into you uninsured,,,, damage your property,,,,,,,,injure you so you cant work and support your family ,,,,,,and just walk away without insurance,,,,,, bet your opinion changes quickly .

Oh wait,,,,, he is " careful " that couldn't possibly happen :stupid:

100% agree on both statements

You forgot, if the person you hit and injury doesn't have health insurance either, then thier "choice" causes the rest of us to pay for that to.

I hate insurance as well but the what if is the reason.
