Boat US Insurance

once again my hats off to Boat US for making my life a little easier, it was worth a shot and and they covered a rotted keel on an 1988 Regal!!!! it was almost a 5 digit repair, the owner is happier than i am.
he contacted his company on his own cause i told him there wasnt a chance in hell that they would cover rot. of coarse i had to tell the owner to let me do the talking to the appraiser,
no really though they covered the boat start to finish with a 150.00 deductible
yes, this is useful information if your deciding on an insurance company, to date i have yet to have a problem with Boat US

water,   
bustin ya Riley, it is a trailored boat and had about a 2" crack on the bottem, but i attributed the crack to the rotted keel and the insurance guy attributed the rot because of the crack.
here's the ones I hate.....Progressive, State Farm, Allstate
first off on the bodyshop side they dictate the hourly rates which i believe right now is $38.50 per hour, they set the rates. on the boat side i set my rates.....I dont care what anyone thinks, I try to fk them when i can.
do yourself a favor and call Boat US or Marine underwriters they are a pleasure to work with.
the big companies are big companies because of the business practices.

The trouble I found with Boats US was that they wanted a marine survey to insure mine all because it was an inboard. I/O's or outboards don't need one. When I called them they could not tell me why an inboard needed one and an I/O didn't. I had them in the past with no trouble,I figured they just didn't need my money this time.

Gary, did they want you to pay for the survey? I don't know what's in a survey...is any of it intrusive?

I tacked mine on to the home ins. $300 per year and I stated the value without being questioned.
