Default Anyone Taken the Tres Martin Performance Boating Class?

Still shopping for insurance for my new 28 ICC.

Merkel is requiring me to tak Tres Martin's 2 day performance boating class outside of Orlando.

Have any of you taken this? Is it worth the trip?

Took Tres Martin school last spring (required by my insurance co.).
Very informational and learned a lot. There was only 3 in the class so it was very personalble. I would recommend it to everyone, with boating experience or not. I currently own a 2006 33' Eliminator Daytona.

What kind of discounts does Markel offer for taking the course? Does off set the $2500 course price?

Merkel told me that it was mandotory before they would even write my policy since I have no CAT experience and have only been a Cruiser owner.

I saw a post somewhere else that said 10% off - but I didn't get that first hand since I was told I didn't even have a choice...if there is a discount - I doubt it'll offset the $2,500 class cost.

Either State Farm has changed their policys very, very, very, recently or they don't fully understand what they are insuring...because typically when they find out they cancel the policy. The above has happenend to several people on this forum, unfortunately AFTER they have bought a new boat even coming from a single engine cat state farm previously insured.....
