For those of you who don't take EB Mag there was a meeting of insurers and manufacturers at the Miami boat show last Feb. Better deals for us are on the horizon!

The article was very informative, read it yesterday. I think you will see more training schools coming into play, and Tres Martin is one of them.

We've had this "State Farm" discussion on here more times than I can remember. It all boils down to the region you are in and the agent you have. The bottom line is they do and will insure our boats depending on the situation. I had my last policy for three years and I had one price increase that was $25.

Re: Insurance Question
Give us some credit for building a carreer and working hard enough to buy one of these boats. Just because it goes fast doesn't mean were not responsable enough to make decisions running. Those that are careless will come into light quick. They have to know there are going to be some claims. Those, they weed out.
I said before how many claims to the insurance co. involves having the boat in the first 6 months, or by the ones new to that type(size,twins,V,Cat)

My previous policy was never questioned at all and it WAS an agreed replacement value policy. I made that very clear going into the deal.

Try to get them to write a policy for a boat with over 700hp a side and/or a top speed over 120mph, it seems these are the points most insurance companies walk away from.
