this is really frustrating, not sure if its my age, lack of long term boat ownership in my name or what, but I can't find anyone that will insure it. Sucks because I've found a boat I really like, and can't get it insured.

Outside of my age? No. I have a spotless driving record, no claims/losses on boats. I did not own boats in my name very long (less than 2 years) but have been boating my whole life. I would have thought this would be an easy process, last boat was insured around 1200 a year, but it was the first one I owned in my name. I figure this one would be more, but I can't get anyone to even give me a quote. Most say its too fast (its only a 80s mph boat).

I am looking at insuring a 99 312 fastech with 1200 hp total. I called around to a few places and most tell me either its too old, or too fast. I have a request with wakezone but haven't heard back. So far have tried Geico(too fast), Boat US (waiting to hear back), Goldberg (too old), a guy with goldberg referred Andy, national marine (too fast). Who else can I try? Also what would one expect to pay for something like that? Boat runs mid 80s
Justin, check your emails and your voicemails. I was out of the office yesterday ( i know that my receptionist relayed that) when you called but I have written back to you and left you a message as of today...
guess no more days off for me...

Yeah I understand that, everyone needs time away. I just have gotten really spooked since no one will even begin to talk numbers with me. Not even ridiculous numbers/quotes. Most just flat out say no. Makes me believe that its a situation where I can afford the boat, but not the insurance.
