New to florida, Who to choose for insurance?
 

I just moved to the Clearwater area and now its time to start changing everything over starting with insurance. Going for my Florida license today. I made a few calls last week but as soon as they hear boat, thru transom exhaust, the conversation comes to a quick end accept for apologies on there behalf and they try to get all the other vehicles. I have an 85 30ft velocity thats been custom-ed quite abit, 88Gt mustang, 2002 Convertible TA, 97 F150 4+4. I'd like to go through one company for everything and get a volume deal hopefully. I hope some local boys can chime in and lend a hand.

Thanks
Chris

Congratulations on the move. I'm sure you'll enjoy it and have a blast!

I came up empty looking for boat insurance locally. Very few would touch it, or if they did if wasn't an agreed-value policy or the price was ridiculous. I ended up with Boat-US, the rates were reasonable and it's good policy.

Give some of the advertisers on this board a shout, like Sy at Total dollar or Bill at BlackAdar...

Thanks Baja. Appreciate it.

I got quoted by Boat US at something like $3800 a year! This is for a 17 year old boat. Threw that quote in the garbage. It is hard to find homeowners insurance in Florida sinc Hurricane Andrew. Allstate doesn't want to write any. I think the state has a place to call to help find homeowners.

Call AAA for homeowners, stay away from Citizens Ins. they will beat you to death. I use Progressive on Harley, Geico on the boat and Windsor Ins for my Biz. vehicles. I shop around a lot.
Good luck

Hey Johno, don't you have an engine to replace? Get off the puter and back to work!

I thought you were looking for boat insurance, not homeowners!!!
I live in Mi and boat us told us they would not insure a 43 ft black thunder, and it only goes 72, our insurance agent does a lot of out of state boats, we got a great deal but had a perfect record
you could try him at 231-775-4949, his name is Rick and he owns the agncy Good Luck, and stay safe

My Pantera is with Progressive. They had the best rate by far.
My boat doesn't have through transom exhaust:rolleyes:
I pay about $2800 for agreed value. Just remember to adjust the value every year. Your price will continue to rise if you stay firm with that agreed value every year...:eureka:

Thanks everyone for the feed back. Its all good info.
