Is it considered discrimination to not do business with someone because they are based in a certain state. Like let's say I want to buy fiberglass materials from a public company but they will not sell to me because I live in Florida and there are shady boat companies in Florida so they said we just won't start any new business in Florida only existing business will we deal with.

If it's discrimination some insurance companies seem to be able to get away with it ! LOL

Bob,
Isn't that the darn truth when it comes to all kinds of insurance here in FL!

Yeah but do the insurance companies have existing customers but won't take on new customers

Insurance companies are above the law...

Especcially when I see Allsate and Progressive plastered all over this site and they don't insure performance boats.
So.. they advertsie on a performance boat site, yet don't offer insurance.
That's discrimination to the "T"

Uh, oh. Now look what I've started. LOL I did not mean for my comment to be a distraction from db71 finding an answer to his question.

Allstate insured my 93 35 and 05 42 for 10 yrs. no issues.

db The company probably did their homework, who they have the right to deal with I suggest meeting face to face and see if you can get in.

well if its public than the government owns it. But any pvt company or public traded coperation can probably do what they want. There are discrimination laws but the biggest ones are employment and housing. I doubt theres any protection for buying fiberglass

Geico even sponsors an offshore boat yet won't insure them LOL. I work with insurance companies every day and let me tell you they are the biggest shams!!!

Back to the topic: was that the reason they gave you? I've tried buying resins and gel supplies out of state and have been turned down because of shipping hazardous materials.
