You said Geico...that's funny. Check with Stacy at Wake Zone or Call Elton Porter, both stand up folks.

I called Geico, after watching the Ms. Geico Mystic run 200 MPH in my back yard, they said....you ready for this....

"we don't insure boats with that much HP" (in my area I guess)

It's a single 502 MAG!

I would try State Farm. I have insured twin and triple engine Formula Fastecs with them and insure my Fountain 38 EC with them in Florida (where the insurance companies are bailing out of). State Farm is a third of what GEICO wanted to insure my Fountain.

Good luck with Geico unless your insuring a john-boat- w/o power.
Try progressive or state-farm

I wonder if it varies from state to state, I tried to insure my 29 fever with State Farm and they said they don't insure that much horse power.....I use IWSF and have recently heard some odd things about them, any input guys?

SF with triple 525 SC under $800 a year no lay up.

Stogie 05-14-2010 10:32 AM

State Farm for me too. Under 650 a year for my 29 with a 525efi.

Nick you may need to push SF a little, I know I did. They would inititally insure my triple until Formula sent them a letter indicating the engines were stock with the boat. I know they don't like aftermarket engines in boats. I also have my cars and house with them and I think that made a difference. I sure can't beat the price and I've called all over to compare.

Thanks man I will def do that. My house and truck are also with them, but they weren't at the time I bought the boat so that could have been the problem.

nick9671 05-14-2010 05:54 PM

Well I checked with my SF agent today and still no luck, he said it could vary by state. Anyone have any input on IWSF, like I said I have recently heard that I may have issues with them if I ever had a claim. I hate to judge off of one little rumor/story I have heard so if anyone has had experience with them please share....

Call Stacy at Wake Zone. I had placed my 35 ft Fountain w/525's at $1,500 annual w/$500k in liability navigational region is Northeast saltwater usage. Wakezone now covers my 39 Outerlimits w/600's @ $2k annual premium.

nick9671 05-18-2010 12:55 PM

Well surprise surprise, after 3 or 4 days of b*tching to SF about all of these other guys insuring their boat with SF. They decided they can insure mine too! Only gonna be about 600/yr, thanks guys for making me keep pushing SF, it is crazy how they were so hesitant......
