Boat Insurance

[Jan from Humboldt]

I recently purchased a new 150 CC and insured it with progressive for full coverage and replacement costs for about $180.00 a year, no problem no hassle.

I've got mine with Alstate. they didn't care what the boat was made of,. They also offer tow insurance Havn't had to use it (Knock on wood)

Thanks.....

I'm also with progressive,Was told same thing at first only alum or fiberglass.As it turned out they have Ropolene as a sub catagory under fiberglass,some agents are not up to speed.

I am in a bit of a different situation. I own a 2005 150CC w/50hp Yamaha, and I also own a 34 Silverton Convertible. The insurance on the 34 footer is through Global Marine Insurance Agency and underwritten by Zurich. They included my Triumph for no charge as it is covered as a tender to the larger boat. Their rules state that the tender has to be 15' or less, and have a 50HP engine or less....and at 14'10" it fit the bill.
