You know what they say when it sounds too good to be true.

Even with the best intentions bad things happen. I addition to what the others have mentioned a well worded signed waiver holding anybody and everybody harmless is in order.

You need to read the thread on the Smoke On The Water law suit. There is NO such thing as a well worded signed waiver.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. A litle story here:

Back in the mid 80's, I was with a buddie of mine in his Formula 302. We picked up this hot lookin chick that was walking through the harbor drooling at some of the performance boats. She came onboard the boat at the dock, and my buddie offered her some cocktails, (winecoolers). A little bit later, a bunch of us went out for a ride. We put the "new" girl in the port bolster, and showed her how to hold on when at speed. She was having a good time while we were jumping waves. She had her feet on the dropdown footrest that was above the floor on the portside, while she was sitting in the bolster. Her feet slipped off the footrest and she fell forward, and hit the dash with her face. She broke her nose when she hit the dash. My buddie took her to the hospital right from the harbor, and then paid for ALL of her hospital bills, doctor bills, and the time she was off from work, which was 6 weeks. Bought her a real nice gold chain with some kind of diamond pendant on it for her pain and suffering. Couple weeks later, he gets a letter from her attorney that he's being sued for her injurys !!! In the end, his insurance co. ended up setteling with her for $75K. And that was back in the mid 80's !!! That was after a couple year long battle in court. Then his insurance premium went sky high, and he just bought a new 10 meter Fountain right before the settlement was through.

Talk about takin a phuckin?? Sometimes it just don't pay to be nice. Like I've said before, if it sounds too good to be true, look out.

a phuckin?? without any LUBE good story , thats why i try not pulling in the beach everyone wants a ride and i have a hard time saying NO but princess is againt it . had 2 guys come up 2 us on the beach and wanted a ride so we took them out in the eliminator told bill jr to have the vid camera on was gonna make a pass at 5000 rpm to tape it ... before we made it to the video camera at 5000 105 mph we broke a crank and locked a motor and boat hooked hard left almost left the river and put it in the trees hammered the other throttle and got her to the middle of the river and she was violent as h*ll and tossed 1 passenger out, the other got beat up pretty badd and pizzed his pants , and pinky got bounced pretty good and was a lil bloody in the back seat ,she went up on her side and did'nt know if she wanted to roll over or back on the sponsons . thought a lawsuit was gonna be drafted monday morn but payed all there hosp bills, time off work ,a few weekends at the cabin,and kissed some azz that i did'nt like but could of been way worse .... true story but that 1000.00 ride sounds like a baited hook unless itsm just some idling around takin pics .
