just got letter that progressive ins is droping perfomce cats. so look for new ins i have till june.2004
Oh that really sucks. I went thru the bs last year. It was hard as hell to find someone to insure an old baja. I cant imagine having to find someone to do a fast cat. You are going to pay dearly for it no matter where you find it. I would think take first available asap then shop around. Chances are good they will dump you in a month or two anyway. I got kicked to the curb more than once before mine took.
We need Charlie R on this website for some insight on fast cat insurance. Can you do that eddie. I think sticframe@msn or something like that for his email.

Good luck, the boating insurance sure seem like the muscle car's of the 70's all of the sudden.
What kind of boat do you have? Power, size, mph?

That's why I just stick with my cruiser. Insurance is cheap, I can spend the night anywhere I want, I'm always going slow so don't have to slow down for big wakes, I can carry bigger coolers, so even if I get there long after you I'm still having a party.

I assumed that you have a 500 EFI in the boat and after looking at the pictures, I know I'm wrong. Who built the motor? What kinds of parts did you throw in it? I'm a motor head from way back, I can handle the terms let hear it. 8)
