Game faces already on for the Miss GEICO team, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...for-clearwater

I find humor every time I see Miss GEICO, I requested a quote and Geico would not insure my Cigarette, the agent said they did not insure performance boats was his excuse... Ive never had a claim ever...

Yes, there is more than a little irony in that GEICO doesn't write high-performance powerboat insurance.

But what a great advertising vehicle.

No they don't. But they insure most everything else that sits on the spectator fleet watching the races. The reality is that High performance boats require a very special skill set of knowledge (and appetite for risk ) about Hulls, power and speed ...even then the risks are still huge. " Yes ..it's a Cigarette Gladiator with twin 750's " How fast is it? "Uh... 65MPH" ..... You get the picture. This is a Warren Buffet owned company we are talking about. Think of how many yearly premiums one single high performance accident would cost...How many total boats in the niche? You would probably agree that there is a segment of HP owners that don't have the experience or training to run their boats at the speeds they are capable of and often operate at....and thats why the firms that do insure them want to know how many years exp with HP boats now.

Miss Geico works hard to represent the sport and hobby of performance boating as best as we can. The attention the boat gets at shows races and events sells a lot of insurance and in turn puts some stability into our sport and gives you guys something cool to watch. Look at the positive and call Rick Felson at Hawk Marine Insurance.

Well Progressive insured my boats all considered High performance but they don't write policies for houses in NY.

OK, Jake, you lost me ... unless Progressive uses a house as a marketing vehicle.

Light humor.

But by the same argument some of the CC's they insure are faster than old straight bottom performance boats and are a higher theft risk too! Heck most bass boats are faster than most of the older performance boats!

Not hard to do.LOL. Thing is I wanted to insure Cars, truck, boats & house with them. They would do everything but the house. Go figure.
Agent said they're not licensed for real estate in NY..

Any truth to the rumor thaat you are really JAKE from state farm and that you are wearing khakis???

True, but the claim value on that totaled Bass boat would be less than a pair of props on a High Performance Boat :-)
