    Hello Vikings, As I expand my search south of the border, I am wondering... are there any Canadians in the group who have knowledge of, or experience with, buying a US boat and bringing it back to Canada? Some of things I am curious about may also be common knowledge for US owners. As I see...

    Survey impact on insurance

    I'm not terribly sure this is the right forum, but it pertains to maintenance impacting insurance, so here goes. I'm contemplating (half the time, I'm ready to plunge, the other half I'm running for dry land) buying a tired E-35 in Maine. Tim Reilly has given me a pretty thorough...

    Value estimate for insurance?

    I would appreciate any help in determining the value of my 1984 Ericson 30+ for insurance purposes--I don't want to under insure the boat, but also don't want to pay more for insurance than necessary, as we are on a fixed retirement budget. We have owned the boat for three years, and when...

    Just curious to see what people are paying annually for a similiar sized and year boat. I was paying 60 a month for my 1977 E32 with a gas engine and no survey through progessive.
