Don't forget the guys that go down without the chute cause it will total the plane if deployed. Guess they were worried their insurance would go up.

GET INSURANCE. period.
Pontoons ramming pontoons isn't the same thing as offshore boats. You lose a drive and the boat hooks at the start of a run and you scrape the pretty paint off the side of a million dollar carbon fiber MTI, they'll be out for blood.
Battery switch fails and sparks a fire onboard while parked at a marina. You buyin everyone new boats out of pocket? Ya know 230 gallons of 110 octane burns before you could even get off your barstool..
Don't risk yours and everyone elses good time by being "that" guy that skrimped the necessities to get a pretty boat.
Lower your price point so you can afford to get EVERYTHING you need to go with the purchase.. That includes fuel, the right size truck, INSURANCE, piggy bank setup for when (not if) parts break, etc.
My 24 insurance is $3000 for 6 months of use.
$500/mo insurance
$500/weekend in fuel
Thats $2500/mo just to be floating on the lake that I live on. That doesn't include boat payment (if there is one) and all the parts that I break.. and I have OUTBOARDS!
The costs of an older Skater with sketchy power are extraordinary.

Some drunk b!tch knocks her teeth out while putting her makeup on while underway, some stupid F cracks his skull open while not holding on, or someone gets tossed and breaks his neck (I've seen all these things happen, and then some!) out on the water in your boat and your bills can accumulate over the cost of custom paint job and the new MTI it was sprayed on REALLY, REALLY FAST! Unless you run your offshore on a pond, it can get rough and violent out there and conditions are always dynamic.
It takes very little for people to get injured, not to mention fatal injures unfortunately aren't that uncommon in this sport. Hell, just look at all the fatalities we had at Key West this year in only a couple of days... and these were pros running in a controlled environment with full safety gear! Add in some inexperienced idiots (and booze) and I would hope you can see why you need to cover your azz with insurance in a high performance offshore boat, especially a 140 mph 32' cat!!!

Just ask the girl who is missing a pigtail from the left side of her head.. The remnants of it were still wrapped around the alternator the day I sold my sunsation..
We hit a wave, back seat caved in, exposed the front of the motors and YANK.. scalped.. Got her back to the dock, her friend took her to the ER and I waited for the call from the lawyer.. Luckily it never came..
