Default Boat insurance

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a Formula 242LS. Boat has a single 454 magnum.

Contacted Boat/US for insurance and they want close to $1000. Is that high? I mean the boat only goes 60mph. My last boat was a 18' Sea Ray with a 140hp motor. Top speed was 45mph and my insurance was $86/year!

I called my auto/home broker Allstate and he's going to work on a quote once I get a hull number. I also requested a quote online through "United Marine Underwriters" I think I found them through boattraderonline.

Chuck

Thanks, you're rates shouldn't be that high then, with a winter layup and a shorter season. Check out Worldwide Marine, 1-800-339-1235, ask for Bob Luellen...he just got me an awesome rate which was about half of what Boat-U.S. wanted.

Cheap ins in some parts of the country is a mis-statement from what I have been told

Default Insurance

Where besides Allstate is a good place to shop for insurance? Do you have everything else with them? I've had two quotes for a 38' Tempest, both about $1800.00 and one even put Kansas waters only. Hellooooooo. I live here but will be going to other places!!!

I had that with Boat U.S. Had to call them if I was headed to the shore. $20 additional got me up to two weeks at the shore. If I went for the day...still$20. If they saw the chit that floats in the Delaware river , they should give ME a rebate to hit the shore.
Right Capo??
