The Kawasaki manufacturing facility located in Lincoln, Nebraska exceeded the goal of producing 500 jet skis for the new International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) division. The crew in Lincoln built 800 of the 2017 Kawasaki SX-R’s and shipped the first batch of the stand up skis to 321 Kawasaki, a long time dealership in El Dorado, Kansas. The new jet skis will soon be available on the east and west coasts of the United States. The four-stroke stand up jet skis were made in time for entry into the Mark Hahn 300 which took place in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, February 12th.
According to the IJSBA’s announcement, the 2017 SX-R may be used at any IJSBA sanctioned event in any category where the machine is eligible. However, the addition of this division does come with several restrictions listed in the paragraph below:
If the SX-R is used in Ski Mod classes, the watercraft may not utilize aftermarket hulls. If the SX-R is used in Ski Limited classes, the watercraft is required to meet Ski Stock rules. The SX-R are not eligible for use in Junior Ski classes until IJSBA approved speed control measures are announced.

Dental Insurance – Individual and Family Dental Services
Dental Insurance Plans and Programs Dental health is extremely important for individuals and families and it’s financially helpful to have some form of dental coverage to minimize the costs of dental care. Dental insurance plans are also becoming increasingly unpopular with dental practices for a variety of reasons. Dental insurance plans differ in the level of reimbursement offered for certain procedures and in annual dental spending caps.
Dental insurance plans play a big role in helping people cope with dental health care without the exceedingly high costs. With dental insurance plans for you and your family, we can help make it easier to keep your smile healthy. Our individual dental insurance plans provide you with the coverage you need to promote good dental health.

Compare dental insurance plans and decide which one is right for you and your family.

You may think your homeowners policy covers your vessel, however it typically does not. And when a homeowners insurance policy does offer coverage, it is usually limited to small boats like canoes and small sailboats or small power boats with less than 25-mph horsepower. The property coverage limit that can be as low as $1,000. Liability coverage for a boat is typically not included at all under a standard homeowners policy.
Which is why a separate boat insurance policy, with watercraft liability coverage, may make sense for you to be better covered. After all, you have invested time and money into your boat — putting the right insurance in place may help protect you and your investment against the risks out on those busy waterways.

Collie was on a vacation with her boyfriend Mr Keating out enjoying the nice weather and decided to rent a pair of personal watercraft. The sun was shining bright and according to Keating’s representatives, the “strong sunlight reflecting from the sea made it impossible for him to see the jet ski being ridden by his girlfriend, Emily Jayne Collie.” While authorities do not believe that Keating caused the crash on purpose, he will be facing charges of reckless driving causing her death. His family has expressed their remorse because they had the opportunity to know Collie for the 18 months she had been dating Keating.
Many riders take riding their craft as second nature, but being inexperienced can prove to be fatal. According to Thai law, anyone using a jet ski is supposed to have a ‘captain’s permit’. Many tourists do not have a permit and many rental companies just write on the paperwork that they do.
Please be a defensive rider and understand that when riding in a populated area to not reach high speeds. Save that for open areas, because doing so could save someone’s life. We send our condolences out to the family and friends of Emily Collie.

According to the Insurance Information Institute it says the watercraft liability limit on a standard boat insurance policy typically starts at $15,000, but you may be able to significantly increase your coverage limit.
For even greater protection, they suggests that boat owners consider purchasing what is called a personal umbrella policy, which not only provides additional liability coverage for your boat, but extends that extra protection to the liability coverage on your home or car insurance policy.
Talk to your local insurance agent about your coverages so you can make sure that the coverage limits are set at the amount that is right for you.

While the official definition of a (PWC) personal watercraft varies from state to state, these are two of the more common types of personal watercraft that this website can help you find insurance for:
1) A stand-up PWC allows for one rider who either stands or kneels on the watercraft, as opposed to sits. Leading brands of stand-up PWCs include Kawasaki and Yamaha.
2) Sit-downs, which allow the rider to sit or stand, can usually carry 2–4 people and often have the ability to tow skiers and wake boarders.

Although it is very important to understand what your PWC policy covers, it equally important to know what is excluded from a PWC policy. That is why you should read each and every line in your policy to get the facts on excluded items.
However here are some typical examples of what is not covered:
* Any craft that has been modified to enhance speed and performance
* Operation of a PWC after dark—dusk to dawn
* Operating a PWC when you don’t have a valid driver’s license
Because insurance needs differ depending on the type of personal watercraft you own, read the details in your policy to see what is covered and what is specifically excluded.
