If you are paying $5K insurance for a $10K bike, you are getting a royal screwing. It's been a few years now, but my last bike was a GSXR-1100. Full coverage, year round, cost me about 600 bucks, give or take.

And, I thought I was the only one that did that kinda math.

Re: Got my new insurance quote, Want to buy a Motion?
 

If you think the cost per day is bad. Take your premium and divide by the time you put on your hour meters every year.

40 bucks an hour for insurance... i can deal with that, don't really have a choice.....

get in touch with Bob Lewellyn at Worldwide Marine...i'm 38 years old, home owner, ZERO points, ZERO claims, purchasing a 98 30 spectre with merc 300's and am under $3K a year

Re: Got my new insurance quote, Want to buy a Motion?
 

Yep. I think that's it. I was once quoted 7500 for my 98' 25' Powerplay Open Fisherman which is a V hull. Problem is it has T-300's. They just didn't want to insure me obviously.

There will be more complaints as the year goes on and as policies come up for renewal. I understand fully that the insurance rates are directly hurting the powerboat industry as a whole, and expect that more rate hikes are on the horrizon. I started my high performance school to help get a grasp on what is happening, I had boats in my shop that just sat because the insurance was too high or they had none. I am trying not only to help save lives but cost as well. Many dont feel they have to take the class because they have already had a boat in the past, well bad habits are hard to break and there are a few things that many just dont know.Everyone that has now taken the class feels it was well worth thieir time and money to get the proper education. We are now sponsored by Lifeline and Racing communications. Thanks for all your support.

Tres.. I am interested in taking the class for the classroom part. My doctors are not allowing me in a boat until my back heals properly.. is there a way I can take the class over the summer and then take the "on the water" part sometime in the future?
