Catamaran Insurance
 

I'm thinking of purchasing a 30ft outboard cat. I've heard numerous war stories about insurance and have a few friends that out cats and are currently insure'd threw Blackndar ? but rumor has it that there not writing anymore. There are an awful lot on the water and they cant all be self insured whats the story. I'm in Jersey and was wondering who and what you cat owners are doing for insurance. PLease enlightnin me...Thanks Bernie

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

state farm wouldn't even cover my cat.... they got all my other stuff but didn't want to touch a 100+ MPH boat.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Hey Bernie, what are you looking at? I had a 30 Cobra cat w/ twin 300 Promax's. Sold it 2.5 yrs. ago to a guy in Bayville.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

check with Sy

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Had Markel with my V hull, Worldwide gave me better pricing.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Allstate and State Farm wouldn't touch mine either even though allstate has all my cars. I hope the guys that have them as carriers are sure that the insurance companies know how fast there boats are. If you try to "not tell all "with them its gonna come back to bite ya if you have a claim. As soon as I told them it would hit a 100mph the conversation was over.I heard alot of agents will write them but if you have a claim get ready forthe finger pointing and clauses to start showing up.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

How did you get boat US to give you insurance ?

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

A friends 32 Skater, 5k/year....

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Call Sy, he was the only one who would touch our 28 Eliminator within reason.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Listen, I am going to be putting on a school that shoulkd help with insurance very soon, It going to take some time, but its going to happen.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Glad someones looking into this bs mines 6500 for 32 skater

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Ouch. Man that really sucks. I haven't had any problems with them. I'm going to check my policy out and see what it says.....So what happened with that? Did you ever recover anything or find the guy?

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

thanks guys i guess best bet is to hit the phone book and start makin calls...i know Sy couldnt do anything as of 3 months ago with cats i asked him and he said no shot

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

fatdaddy...is that you Mike ? I'm contemplating gettin rid of the scarab and lookin either for a 30 spectre or a 33 scarab AVS

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Bern, no not Mike, my name is Ric. I live in North Jersey but have a place in Bayville. I run an '03 33 Baja Outlaw w/ custom paint.

Re: Catamaran Insurance
 

Skatin, we did locate him, about 6 hrs. ahead of the law. :eek:

He's in prison in Ga. no $$ so far and not a peep about the boat.
