If I don't have insurance, God forbid something happens. As my girlfriend said, Insurance premium numbers are as big as our go fast egos!!
I must be living in a hole. Are there a bunch of idiots out there crashing the piss out of their cats that I haven't heard about? I boat at LOTO a lot and I've never heard of any cat accidents ever and that lake is a hot bed with them.
Why is the cat insurance industry taking this turn????

Emotion Driver from here, sold his Motion due to Ins rates I think. 
They will slowly put the speed boat business out of reach for most

Re: Got my new insurance quote, Want to buy a Motion?
I am with you Lube if my insurance was that high I would have to sell my boat. That is rediculous. I feel lucky paying 800 for my 18 Donzi with a 6 month layup. That is just way to painfull to even think about.
May want to call up Sy for some insite anyhow.
