How competetive?
 
If I call 10 different companies, am I gonna get 10 different quotes? How do I choose? Insurance that is.

I would venture to say yes, all different quotes. I have been getting quotes myself and I have 6 so far and all are different. Most are within a couple of hundred dollors of each other but a couple are off the charts expensive in my opinion. I would suggest giving either Stacy @ Speedwake or Sy Goldberg @ Total Dollar a call, both will give the straight scoop and both have their info in this section. Good luck.

I'd just call Stacey and be done with it.

Competitive !
 
I can be as competitive as I need to be or more importantly as competitive as I want to be.I would suggest that you check with the owners of the high dollar fast v hulls and fast cats how competitive I am on million dollar boats.

Unfortunately, there are not 10 different performance carriers :) (i wish there were).

Remember that when you call a brokerage like Wake Zone, we shop different carriers for you. While we do not represent all of the performance carriers, we represent a good majority of them and we represent the COMPETITIVE and SOLID programs. Some brokers only push one main carrier and that doesn't do you any favors. So, when you get a quote, ask who the carrier is. The amount of available carriers is going to depend on the level of performance boat you choose...

Needless to say, there are a lot of factors that come into play when quoting performance boat insurance.

+1.

I shopped around and spent a decent amount of time on the phone as well and played the phone tag game. At the end of the day Stacey was not only the most competitive, she was also the most friendly and helpful, BY FAR ! She even gave me her cell number (which I did delete Stacey! :drink:) and had me calling her late at night while faxing info back and forth very late into the evening.

Mean while, some other big names here were to busy playing golf to bother talking to me or suggested I call 1(800) numbers and they'd get back to me within a few days, which they did, long after I had signed with Stacey... But hey, at least they did call me back at some point to let me know I saved a significant amount of money going with WakeZone!

Save yourself the hassle, go directly to Stacey. She's fantastic to deal with, her customer service is unparalleled, and her rates are the best I found.

I've corrected your post for you:lolhit::party-smiley-004::drink:

Sy's the Man! -Mr Goldberg has been by hi performance insurance agent for 20 yrs. Yes, I've shopped but in the end his rate and SERVICE could not be beat.

Kurt:drink::coolcowboy:

I have no doubt he is good Kurt - he has certainly been doing it since before I went through puberty, but like Stacey said - everyone is different.

My experience with Stacey has been great - she was a fraction of the price as others on here and last summer she answered the phone at 6pm on a Friday when I desperately needed her to email me my Dec Pages so that I could participate in a Charity Event; I had them in a matter of minutes.

Sy not only hooked me up with coverage for a long trip to the midwest, he offered to pay when my truck transmission blew up in Minnesota!:coolcowboy::drink: Top that :coolcowboy::drink:

X2. Not only was she the best to deal with but she got me the lowest rate with comparable coverage. Progressive, World Wide etc... came in double :)

WakezoneINS 10-13-2011 04:12 PM

Wow... thank you guys for all of the kind words, comments and support of me and my company, Wake Zone. In an industry with so much turnover in boats, loyalty of a client is the biggest compliment I can receive. We are so lucky to have clients like all of you, loyal and supportive! You all rock! ;)

Griff 10-14-2011 12:04 AM

I have never heard one negative thing said about Stacy or Sy. I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with either one.

i've had good luck with both Total Dollar (Buzz...never dealt with Sy) and Stacy. For the last few years, Stacy has had my business...her prices are competitive and customer service is top notch!

Strongly recommend her!
