The reason I ask isn't for myself, but it does affect me! My boss (she's also a friend) offered to let me borrow her Jet Ski this Sunday to take to the lake. We already have a boat, tubes, skis, etc, so it will be nice to have an additional watercraft available.
Here is the issue - her husband tells me the ski isn't insured so "don't wreck it" (in a nice way). Not that I was planning on wrecking it in the first place, but it made me think - SHOULD they have insurance? Should I be concerned that they don't? We will be jet skiing on a lake in an area without much traffic or wind or waves, lots of beach area, etc. Pretty calm so I'm not so worried about that, but now my wife is nervous about borrowing the ski.
Aside from that, we already have the plans to pick up and use the Jet Ski sunday and I also found out they don't have the numbers on the side of the ski (even though they bought it early summer last year). He says he does have the registration he'll give me to keep in my car, but does anyone think this will be a huge issue either? Again, I'll be on a calm private area of a lake I've been to dozens of times, barely ever see anyone else at all much less any authorities.
Thanks in advance for any input!
