Taking delivery on a 2010 Eliminator Daytona 27 next weekend (so excited!). Have started the process of seeking insurance and already been turned down by Wozencraft sadly.

1100hp

115mph (we are told)

We are ages 55 and 62, 100% clean driving records

Currently and for the past 3 years we've own(ed): 2005 Baja 242 Islander [Built with Raylar 511 stroker build/Whipple stage 2, 600hp, 70mph]

1996 Spectre 30 Cat [Twin Dart 572's 750hp each, 110mph is fastest we've gone in it]

Anybody have any other suggestions besides Wozencraft?

Ive been with TD for 5 yrs, they will require a current survey to quote q policy........

Curious why they turned you down if you don't mind sharing. They are considered by many as one of the go to's for performance boats. If not carry on and 2nd vote for Total Dollar.

I don’t mind sharing. “Current boat insurance ownership history … requires minimum of two years ownership experience os similar speed/length vessel…”

Weird the Spectre didn't qualify you. Similar HP and speed must be the time of ownership they are using as excuse. I had zero cat experience and Total Dollar wrote mine with more HP also.

I guess they only use the years similar boats were covered under an insurance policy as "qualified" years; even though dated purchase agreements prove actual ownership. Kind of like applying for a job that requires 47 years of experience when you just finished an internship and graduated from college - how do you get those 47 years if nobody will hire you?

Have you taken a high performance driving class?

No, but it's looking like I'll have to.

We are back to the bad old days of insurance when Tres started his course.

Been calling and leaving a message at Total Dollar for a week. There is an minor error in my renewal notice. Nobody calls me back. I may call Wozencraft before sending money to a company that can't call you back.

I miss Stacey from Wakezone.
