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.

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.
