"Well sir,, any insurance carrier will require you to have a major policy with them to carry your boat also"....SO they flat our lie to me !!. I was pi$$ed. Told them they didn't know what they were talking about and I can get insurance anywhere for a boat. End of conversation.

So now I'm in the market for new insurance and my club requires 1/2 mil. environmental damage coverage and 300K indemnity. I understand they need to cover themselves too. No big deal.

So...I did a Boat US online application and will see what they chrage.
I thought SeaTow carried insurance, but I dont see it on the website.

I know this was in an old thread, but what carriers do you have luck with?

Thanks....I got to get this settled before launch time, the club marina won't let boats in until the see the proper insurance coverage.
Sign of the times I guess.

I have Liberty Mutual for all my insurance EXCEPT my boat. They told me they could not match the price I got from Progressive. I pay $156/year for full 12 month coverage of $17,500 for the boat, motor and trailer with another $5K rider for electronics and fishing equipment. 2003 18' Sea Hunt CC with a 90HP Yami 4 Stroke.

Well then I think I should contact progressive. I could always use 50 bucks.

Did you apply online?

Van: I did not apply online. I went through my independent insurance agent, Blackman Insurance in East Greenwich RI. Richard Blackman is the principle.

Paul:

I did a Progressive online application and it gives you the rate instantly, I could even change the limits on some coverages and see the premium change. The bad news was either way it was 100 higher than BoatUS. The site said better to call as the numbers did not match, so I can still try that.

I also have a call into my agent that carries all my other stuff, so I am still waiting for them to get back to me.

Sorry my tip didn't help.
