Thanks Trim.... the way I lookat it is .....the people that don't want some sort of regulation are the irresponsible ones, It's not going to cost us anymore $$$$! if it costs me 15-20 $$$ a year to re-up my licence for my watercraft but saves me 100-200$$$ annually who is the winner???!!! not only would the insurance go down, but the state or local jurisdiction is making some sort of income and maybee get a different attitude twards performance boaters (Not only does it help the econemy but we might not be looked at like we're RENEGADES) with our "fast boats,fast wemon,and our boozing!


Sorry about my "rants" but I think the boating industry needs to address this issue not only to preserve their future but ours as well :sb:

This is a great example of a builder that cares for his customers.

I agree yes, they are an exceptional builder. You get a custom boat manufacturer service at a shop that does lots more than a custom boat builders shop..

But regards to the accident... Its also in Sunsations interest to get first hand info/pics/details.....Lawsuits are expensive and you need to be prepared... They were only smart to go look at it...to protect themselves in the event of a suit///... you never know what the driver/passengers would do...

Speedwake was much softer on this guy that crashed than OSO. I think on the other website there are few that would like to hang him for giviing offshores an unneeded black eye.

I love the rumors, he was drunk, medivac flew the injured out. Who starts this crap anyway?

Guy was making a series of high speed turns.
Guess he found its limit. One very expensive lesson.

I heard a couple guys were standing on the deck at 70mph holding the beer bong up in the air while the driver sucked the beer down. Couldn't see where he was going because the guys on the deck got in the way. Swerved last second at the turn and rolled the boat. Good news, the guys never spilled a drop of beer. :D

Actually, one guy was sitting on his shoulders holding the bong....and it was more like 95 MPH. :eek: And in the beer bong they were pouring Tequila, 3 bottles. I know this first hand from a close friend I met last night at a bar that has a cousin that knows a sled shop owner in Canada who's customer has a good friend married to the uncle of the guys neighbor that saw the whole thing from a 737 flying overhead said they did almost spill the Tequilla the first time they jumped the ski ramp. Not a surprise though, 'cause the same guys sister went to school in 1982 with the guys Mom said the jump they spilled the Tequilla on was at least 57' high and it only spilled because they were trying to miss the duck.

Next run, they hit the duck on the 2nd roll.

Really! :D
