Don't the Insurance Co's realize that the people that buy performance boats are 99% of the time aware of what they have, and are cautious about it's use and who handles it. I leave the other 1% to the guy's with too much money that should have bought a Bayliner.

.If I had 5 bucks for every rivet-nosed, 17 year old punk on a SeaDoo causing problems I could buy MagicFloat's new 353 with 600s and realy cause some problems

I used to always have "lake lice" follow me when I left Turtle Island. They would be right on the transom, and I know they could beat me, but they wanted to wake jump.
I always trimmed WAY up, start throwing a rooster tail, and they backed off.
My thought was - Go Ahead, Go for it, but it's gonna hurt!!!
It's just inexperienced Idiots that don't realize what can happen out on the open water.
NO, this is not like driving a car.
NO, you don't park, you have to dock.
YES, wind and current make a difference.
NO, there is no passing lane or median painted on the water.
YES, you are taking out your brand new $20,000 POS, and manuevering around other boats that are $150,000 - $600,000 - without a clue how to operate your new toy.
This isn't to knock everyone that buy's a new boat to get started.
I had a buddy that had a Ski boat, and jumped to a 32' sunsation, on his trial run he nearly hit a concrete pier, and almost ejected both me and my wife - he asked me to take the throttles after that.
Anyone getting into boating needs education - I got mine from the time I was 9 yrs old - by the time I was 11 there were times my Dad was the dockhand (dealing with the lines) and I drove the boat out, and brought her back to the dock, Dad never touched the wheel.
The Insurance thing is killing me...
