Can't find insurance for an older performance boat
Who's writing policies on older performance boats anymore? Having a hard time finding coverage for an 86 Scarab we recently purchased.
So far, Progressive and Marcell are the only ones that will write for it. Progressive was liability only and Marcell was restricted to a few Midwest states, excluding Lake Michigan. Anyone having better luck? |

If the boat is above average condition in a formal survey Andy may be your man.
|
Have you tried Bob Luellen?
|
Did you try Foremost? They insure my old a$$ Baja with agree value coverage...
|
Call Stacy at Wake Zone
|
I'm going to suggest Fremont Insurance, they're based in Indiana. They've been very fair with me.
|
problem with Foremost is they will only write a 100k liability...........and be prepared to have it surveyed.......just been through all of this.....good luck
|
Check with State farm. They gave me the best price on my 88 fountain with a agreed upon value.
|
I also tried to get my older scarab cc insured. Everywhere I called wanted more than my 1250 hp formula.

Foremost no longer insures boats beyond the 15 yr mark. They recently changed the cutoff age. Not to mention jacked rates up 25% on grandfathered policies. I know mine went way up.
I was told that a new company is coming into the insurance game that will insure old boats but the deal hasn't been inked yet. |
I think w the 2 latest Hurricanes we ALL better get ready to pay more:mad:
|
Tried Geico?
|
Bateman, Gordon, and Sands in Lighthouse Point Florida insures older performance boats.

I have full coverage via GEICO on my 311. Hassle-free policy with enough coverage to meet my boatel's requirements.
|
Before I bought my 96 303, I got quotes on a 1989 311 too from both Geico (BoatUS) and Progressive. I went Progressive since they were so easy to deal with and basically same price/coverage as Geico.
