You pretty much need to be a cash buyer, which makes me look at all these 150-180K boats and just be amazed they are selling. Not like you really can find much of any post 2009/10 performance V unless its big power Outerlimits, or huge priced Cig.
I had a hell of a time finding insurance for my 1996 32 Sunsation. 50K value, no prior claims, State Farm wanted $2800/year, since I paid cash I decided to go liability-only for $150/year instead. No other insurer wanted to touch it.

Not even a question, Insurance will require a survey. Best just to get one if you decide to purchase boat. It will give you some leverage if anything pops up. Plant on at least 2500+ for insurance depending on where you live. Good Luck

I am paying cash. But still will need insurance. John has it insured now through State Farm for 100k declared value and he said he is at 1k a year. I pay 1k for my SXS it was a pain in the ass to insure since I have it insured for 75k.

Ubet,

This may be apples to dump trucks, but.....

Our insurance provider didn't even bat an eye when we bought our PowerQuest. They gave us a number that is quite acceptable. We paid cash for about 2/3 of the purchase price and financed the rest as a personal loan because the bank wouldn't provide financing for anything more than so many years old (Can't remember, but it was obviously over their threshold). Is it the age (only 5yrs older)? is it the length (considerable, I get it)? is it the HP (again, considerable)? Curious....

Thanks. Brad.

I think in my situation its the age. I’m looking for a good surveyor in the Lake Havasu area now. So if anyone knows of one let me know.

But not sure what my agent will say i have homeowners 3 autos my sxs my business general liability work comp and commercial auto with another 5 trucks 5 trailers my inland marine policy with 500k in coverage. They better think twice about messing with me to much. I will yank it all and go to another company.

I think it all depends on the agent most times. Someone I know tried the same agent as I have and could not get insured due to hp. My boat had more than his and mine was actually stated on my policy.

The agent actually sold me the policy and it was kicked back about a month later by corporate with a letter stating that.
