That list is for American Modern Insurance Co's. Makes sense as they have been out of the high perf business for quite some time.

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

Re: Insurance list of restricted boats
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...
