If anyone on here has there insurance with Empower---"BEWARE". I have been calling for 2 weeks to advise them that I sold my Fountain. After countless e-mails and phone messages I finally got ahold of an answering service. I left another message. I called again the next day and the lady said the owner Shawn had past away but could not tell me who would be taking over the business. In the mean time I bought a wake board boat and called Stacy at Wake Zone for a quote,I asked her if she has heard anything and she told me there was some THINGS going on and I should be careful. As a professional courtesy Stacy asked me for my policy number on my Fountain just to check it out. I get a call back from Stacy and she said my policy was a fake. The policy number was from another person from 2008 that was cancelled. So I have been without insurance from Oct of last year. I pre-paid 2400.00 for the year. I am making a call today to the California Insurance commision to file a complaint. So whoever else has insurance through this con-man better follow up because its most likely in-valid.

A big thanks to Stacey at Wake Zone for her efforts with this.

Stacy is not involved with this Jack Ass. I am very greatful to her for helping me find out about my FAKE policy. I will refer her to everyone I know who owns a boat. Thanks again to Stacy for being able to help me get REAL policy in place.

Investigators have found evidence that alcohol was involved in this morning's double fatal boat crash in Huntington Harbour, a Sheriff's Department spokesman said.

Two men died early this morning and one was injured when they hit a bridge during high tide about 1 a.m. today. The men needed to duck to avoid striking the bridge, but they failed to do so, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

One of the dead men was identified as Shawn Michael Wilson, 35, of Huntington Beach. He was the driver and registered owner of the 12-foot inflatable Zodiac boat.

The second dead man was identified by the Orange County coroner's office as Caleb Steele, 30, of Huntington Beach.

The man who was injured is James Geekie, 37, of Huntington Beach.

Investigators found empty beer cans in the boat and also learned that the men had been drinking at local bars before they took the ride, Amormino said.

Rescue workers ended a massive overnight search when they found the body of Steele at about 9 a.m. under a dock. Shortly after the crash, searchers found Wilson's floating body.

Geekie was in the middle of the boat and was knocked backward into the boat. He initially passed out, but regained consciousness. He was taken to UCI Medical Center for treatment of head injuries, Amormino said.

Police first received a call at 12:54 a.m. of reckless boating through Huntington Harbour. About 10 minutes later, a caller reported that two men were in the water near the Gilbert Avenue bridge.

Huntington Beach Fire Department and Sheriff's Department Harbor Patrol officers responded to the scene near 3291 Falkland Cir., where they found that a boat had crashed into the bridge. Officials then began rescue efforts.

The boat, which veered into a dock, was towed in for evidence, Amormino said
