I appreciate your concern for business. Also, I am pleased that you would make an exception to the rule for me. However, that is not neccesary. I sold my Skater over a month ago, and had it trucked to Houston Texas. My new boat should be just fine, and leagle. I do believe running around at 60mph on a Holiday weekend is not real smart. Regaurdless of the size of the boat. Although I make boats go fast (or slow for that matter), I can't control the operators. If they are driving in an unsafe manner, they need to be written a nice healthy fine. It still bothers me though, that a 26' boat that is capable of 130mph can do just that, on the lake. Trust me when I say this, "The 26' boat that can, and will run triple digit numbers is far more dangerous to the driver, passengers, bystanders and other boaters, than it's larger counterpart". (This is something I do most every week is drive these things) Plus, it takes a whole lot LESS money to make the smaller craft fast, so there are 8 to 1 more of them than larger ones. It's kinda been that way anyway. I still believe we need a speed limit, much like the one for State and Local Hwys instead of the law we have now. Let me add this also...>>>> We need to do something about boating at night. RIDING AROUND AT 30MPH OR SO AT NIGHT WITH THOSE .05 CENT LIGHT BULBS DESIGNED FOR NAVIGATING IN THE 1940'S JUST AIN'T CUTTIN IT. If you don't believe that, just look at the accidents, vessel types and the time of day. Maybe we need "Idle speed only" from sunset to sunrise. Heck, you could hit someone head-on at idle or no-wake and nobody get killed.

Just sayin'

Ps. Most Performance Boat Insurance Policies have a NO coverage clause if you are operating under the influence. So, if that is what they were doing, they ain't real smart. And, are you ever gonna return my call??????
