Damage was substantial. Their driver was at fault. Geico's adjuster wrote an estimate to repair panels and underbody parts and spot paint…on new, untitled, 2014's.
We have customers who have had their vehicles towed to our shop and Geico refused to pay the tow bill because the customer called the wrecker instead of calling Geico and having Geico call the wrecker for them . If you do some homework you can find all sorts of horror stories re. Geico. Call a few collision shops and ask them about Geico. Wozencraft took care of me when my longtime agent couldn't. The also know exactly what the boat is, HP, speed, etc.. |
Call Stacy, she just got me a new policy with Foremost...better coverage at a great price.

Try Progressive they will insure performance boats!
|
I tried Progressive direct with my BAJA 302. It was wayyyyy high. I got on OSO and checked for insurance in the forums and it seemsed World Wide Marine ( bill I believe) had the best reviews. I called and he gave me a price affordable and reasonable. when the policy got written it ended up with Progressive, but World Wide is the broker. I even write the annual premium to Progressive. Much better going threw a broker that knows Power Boats. I have had them for 7 years, no claims, so no problems. I got a 41' Cat with high horsepower last year and the premium is expensive, but I got it not sure whats going to happen there. Stacy sent me a quote and I think they felt they were high but I don't think the plan was apples to apples and since I already had one in place I was in no hurry to jump if they were not confident they could save me on premiums.
Although ( if your reading this Stacy call me ) i wanted to give Wake Zone a chance so I sent a reply to our last email stating my Baja 302, a fishing boat for my dad and a jet ski was up for renewal this month pricing a new policy would be good, and would like to talk about what we can do with cat in june I believe its up, but I never heard back. Well my policy renewal came today and since i didn't get a reply i renewed with World Wide. I still want to talk to Stacy about the cat if they are still doing this. The cat is 3 times all the others combined. |

The cat is 3 times all the others combined. I called and left a message a couple weeks ago now... I would still like to see what we can do to earn your business. I am in tomorrow and then out for Desert Storm the rest of the week so if I am unable to talk, drop me an email.... [email protected] Talk to you soon! |
Progressive does not insure all performance boats.
Rules with Progressive: No engines over 500hp No boats over 75mph top speed Some particular boat models have restrictions on the amount of hp total you can have for the boat. Example, Fountain has a max hp of 840 (all engines combined).... I've seen countless agents tell insureds that they "worked some magic" or got an exception... 10% of the time, that statement might be true. The other times, it's because the agent used a loop hole in the online rating system to get your boat in so they can sell a policy..... happens often with agencies that do not specialize in marine and just write boats every now and then. |

::angry-smiley-055::angry-smiley-055::angry-smiley-055:Just opened my insurance policy renewal and apparently ace would like me to pay for all the bullsh!t claims people must be making. My insurance on my OL went up last yr approximately $800. I wasn't happy with that ,but it had not gone up in A few yrs so I was ok with it. And now this yrs policy they want $1100 more. I have had marine insurance for over 20yrs with never a claim . I have been with ace for the last 12yrs with the OL. Ace even decided to change my agreed policy amount to actual cash value. Also have clean drivers license , no auto accident claims in over 15 yrs and outstanding credit..... I'm pissed ....
The insurance prices and fuel cost are getting so absurd , never mind the marina fees. I could belong to an exclusive country club for what all these costs are.... I would like to find new ins for the OL and my Searay. Maybe a multiboat discount , can't operate both at the same time.. Tom I would like to thank Andy from Wozencraft for getting me insured at a good rate and good coverage for both of my boats.. Thanks again. Tom PS: anyone looking for insurance give Andy a call at 310-480-4285 that is his direct line .. or his oso name is Andy01. |

Andy is the man!
Andy just wrote the policy for my 1989 357 SR1 Formula. Awesome service and great rates.:Score-101010:
Andy told me that if I ever needed to make a claim, to just call him and he would take care of it. I hope I never have to file a claim, but it is nice to know that I will have someone in my corner. I have been dealing with insurance companies for a lot of years and have to say I have never gotten near the service provided by Andy. His contact info is below. Thanks again Andy!
