May want to call up Sy for some insite anyhow.

Sy's company is who it's thorugh. I dealt with John who is an absolute pleasure!! He is as reputable as they come! He dosen't make the rates!!! I trust him completely. If they say that's what it is, then that's what it is. Just think what you could do with $12,886!

or
1,288 Table dances and 2 diet cokes.
or
3 Boob jobs and 2 diet cokes.
or
6,443 Diet cokes!!!

It just isn't fair!!!!

I'm suprised that everyone is so suprised. It has been this way for at least the last 3 yrs that I have had cat ins. and there have been multiple threads about it. I still think it sucks but if you want to play you gotta pay.

Yes, some of you ARE missing something. '04 was riddled with serious and fatal incidents, gas powered and turbine. As someone said above, these boats come with big expenses. I'm sure the insurance companies read magazines and check web sites. Cats costing +/- a million bucks and go in excess of 150 are going to have premiums more than the average Bayliner

LubeJobs42,
You might have to do some re-thinking here.....how much money did you just put into your boat? (It seems like you just dumped alot of money in the boat) if you sell it, will you lose alot more money?
Sounds like a tough decision.

The claim that took BLACKADAR marine insurance out of business was a turbine cat in CHESAPEAKE BAY.The claim amount was $2,000,000 and there was not enough premium money in the pot to sustain the program.I can only say that the companies that are still writing cat insurance do not want this scenario to happen to them.

Capo, yes it's gone insurance made it NO fun.

If it wasn't for the numb nutz that killed themselves running a cat for the first time, or the azzholes that bought the cat 's for a season, then arranged a stolen boat.

We would all have lower rates.

THANKS AZZ WHOLES....
