You gotta admit, its not every day someone dumps a half million dollar machine and just leaves...if that's the case.
I also suspect if this was some average Joe dumping a $75k Cafe and walking away the board would be roasting him.

On of the sponsons bow steers to the opposite side. Drives itself under the boat. Port sponson bow steers right or vice versa.

Somebody F'd up. That's the story. Slow speed or whatever, confidence overcame ability in whatever the situation is. Why are we wanting to drag it out publicly since it is not what we would want to happen if we were in the situation? To better understand the dynamics of the hull? I call BS. Reminds of the media we complain about.

I am looking to buy a new 36-38ft cat with 450's right now. I am told the 500 or 525 outboard maybe due out in February. The initial conversation on insurance is not going well. Insurance companies enter markets based on exposure. So apparently the market has very few 450 outboard catamarans. So a $700k hit will wipe out the exposure to profit equation. So insurance for a 39ft MTI will probably go up 40%-60% after the increased exposure. Other operators/owners do not want to pay for nonsense or self insure.
