hey Dean, on the insurance, I was told if you live on the coast[are near] you are in a high risk area[hurricanes] and that is a big part of the higher prices we pay, my insurance on my 29 outlaw went up a little also for 2004, no claims on cars , boats are house, great credit, and clean driving record, it's almost 2000 a year through buz at PMA

Man, do I agree with that! I would love to be boating today, right now. Instead I have to look ahead 5 miserable months.
High Insurance bills are less painfull when you can use the boat everyday. Count your blessings Florida.

Tom FTM,
Happy New Year to you and Barbara! Hope the new year is good to you all. The wife and kids are just fine, Ally, my oldest just got accepted into an student exchange program and she is going to England, Ireland and Scotland for a month this june. It only costs me $5000.00!!
How's your Mom doing? We ran down to Dragon Point today, nice afternoon cruise on New Year's day.
We are kinda looking @ a 2000 Formula 353 with HP 500 EFIs, Stellings boxes runs 82-85 MPH. BUT this insurance thing is just crazy! Look us up if you come down for the Miami show, or to see your Mom.
Take care,
Dean
