insurance

Hello all, I’m dealing with an insurance issue. My boat is a 1975 32-2 in good shape. I sail all the time. Last year I was hit by another boat and had a significant claim in my insurance. Totally not my fault. Theft of tender the prior year and some issues from Hilary the hurricane. Anyway...

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...

Greetings fellow Ericson owners, My insurance was cancelled effective 12/1/18 because Tradewinds (State National Insurance Company) is no longer insuring boats with values under $125K. My current policy premium is $500. My renewal quote from Norman Spencer agency is for $770 annual. Any...

Anyone got any good recomendations for some blue water insurance? Looking to go from San Diego to Hawaii then up to Alaska this summer... so it would just need to be a short term deal for that section, I would then get some local coverage once back up in AK... thanks in advance, David

Hello everyone, I'm getting ready to put my money where my mouth is on a 72 35-2. Can't wait actually. My question is can anyone recommend a good insurance company? Any certain coverages a person should make sure he has??? Any info would be appreciated. :egrin:

All I just got a notice that my insurer, Zurich Insurance Company, is bailing from the business. Any recommendations from those of you with boats from the 70's? John

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...

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...

Time to renew my insurance. My policy for my 73 35-II is with Zurich. $ 900 deductible with $ 30,000 replacement value. Annual rate $ 740.00 How does this compare? John

Hi all, I just received my annual slip renewal package from my marina. In addition to raising the rate (yet again; $3,000 for a 29 foot slip), for the first time this year the marina is requiring all boat owners to have a minimum of $500,000 liability insurance on their boats, with...

I would appreciate input from those of you who have older boats (1970s) and which insurance companies you use. I pay $715 from a company called Zurich. How do others compare?? JOhn

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. I'm curious to see what I'm in store for with a boat worth more, but it is also surveyed, newer, and has a diesel...

My insurer (Markel) is requiring a survey before the next renewal and the one quote I have gotten so far is $18/foot. What are reasonable rates for a survey and more siginificantly do surveyors charge a lesser rate for insurance surveys that for condition surveys requested by propsective...

With my boat almost ready for the water, I need to find insurance. My auto/home company(Farmers) won't insure anything over 26 feet, and I hard some things about boat us that made me decide to look at more options. So, what are you using?
