Boat Insurance...any recommendations?

28Stratos · 12-05-2007, 01:02 AM

Firstly, my hats off to everyone fishing in the snow...I envy you! Would love to do it but none of my friends are sane enough.

Anyway I am looking to insure my boat, like a moron, I havent yet.

Wanted to know if anyone could recommend a good company to use. I have a 28' Statos express with twin outboards. Has a ton of upgraded electronics, tower, all that good stuff. Want a plan that will cover me for fiberglass damage, theft, fire, etc

Any recommendations would be most appreciated, thanks!

Just switched to Sea\\Insure, Sea\\Tow's new insurance offshoot. They beat my old policy by over $200 a year and I have more coverage with them and no required layup dates.

I switched over to Charter Lakes a few years back, was the lowst rate by far and the service is excellent.

Check them out. Obviously a good company also. But really, their rates were 25% better than Boat US
