Lasers will T-bone anything, they don't discriminate ;-)

Am I right in thinking there was a spate of broken 600 masts = £££?
If your insurance is fully comp, then that could explain the higher premium to value of the 600.


Old angel masts had as habit of breaking but that was years ago and yes fully comp always for me.

For what they are, high performance boats, no the EPS is not high performance IMO, I reckon thats reasonable.

Solo? Not exactly high risk though is it? Old fashioned so no one will ever nick it, slow, so no likelihood of major impact damage, and not exactly whiplash territory.. LOL

Whereas the EPS, sport boating equivalent of the Golf Gti hot hatch genre, what can I say, I'm surprised anyone would insure it..

my Musto is just  north of 250 quid....my track record's not good though over the last couple of years.   Interestingly its less than my 600 insurance was with same company and the Musto is worth more than double!

I reckon that's good value for how fast I could potentially hit stuff

£85 for the Solo, through Towergate Mardon... £8k worth of cover though.

EPS with racing cover, seemed cheap to me.

I shall find the Noble thing I had to bloody insure it to race against you muppets at the FOM, didn't know what to expect, a lake full of internet keyboard warriors on water, maybe that's why the premium was so high.. Wink

Which boat? Sounds pricey for the EPS?
