You guys are advising a guy to get insurance on the 50cc man killer boat he wants and you have no idea what he wants to do with it or where hes going to run it.

Saying someone is CRAZY for not having insurance on a toy is ignorant in my book, especially when you have no idea where its being ran.

Thus My post on the dynamics of subject at hand.

Alone ... No issues what so ever

Other persons, Property or Animals .... Be very careful and Insured.

It is really that BLACK or WHITE

Ask IMPBA members about a serious racing incident a few years ago. At that time IMPBA had secondary insurance, so the members homeowner's coverage had to cover the accident first. It is my understanding that every IMPBA member was sued individually. Fortunately, they all didn't need to hire individual lawyers and the lawsuit was settled. Just defending yourself from any accident, no matter who is at fault, will cost thousands of dollars. Your home owners policy probably will cover you. I would check before you need coverage.

Insurance? It's better to have it and never need it than to need it and not have it. Once you have an accident, it's too late. Even if you're running in open water and someone with his Cigarette boat runs in front of you and you poke a hole in it and it sinks. Have you priced a boat like that lately?

Is there any chance of seeing how the crank coupler locks the two together?
Seems to be very similar to what Im doing with the 50cc twins!
Thanks,

dkf....I could not disagree with your point more. Rc boating, in all forms power, can be a dangerous hobby with a lot of unknown variables that you never expect to happen, even with the best planning.

See exhibit A www.quickdrawengines.com/Page_102.html

This pic is of a boater that "touched" the spinning prop of his boat inadvertantly at idle in shallow water wearing a boot. DON'T TELL ME THAT IT IS IGNORANT TO NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE HIS BOAT IS BEING RAN OR THE CICUMSTANCES.

Children, dogs, people without an understanding of the dangers spectating can pop up in bad places unexpectedly. And regardless of the price of equipment used, accidents happen. These boats can go out of control, climb a bank and becoming air born missles with little notice.

INSURANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
