Okay,I had to chime in as I've decided on insurance. I got quote from BoatUS
of $728 and a quote from Heritage Marine Insurance for $387. Heritage
specializes in Old Yacht, namely old wooden yachts it seems. The coverage is
better too. Boat US - Vessel and Equipment $19,400 - Liability $300,000 -
personal effects $0 - Unscheduled Electronic Eqip. $0 - deductible $660Heitage
- Boat And Engine $20,000- Liability $500,000 - personal effects $10,000 -
Unscheduled Electronic Eqip. $10,000 - deductible $750 It seems like a much
better deal. Does anyone here use Heritage? Danny

Another perspective on boat insurance: I have a 29 mk1 which I purchased this
spring. � It's a $10k boat in excellent condition and also in Long
Island sound. �BoatUS quoted me $550 or so per year for coverage. I use
Geico for my auto insurance and asked them for a quote as well. �They
transferred me to another Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary called Seaworthy
insurance that Geico is in cahoots with in some way. Seaworthy's quote was for
$158 per year.� I reviewed both policies side by side, and though I'm
not an attorney, they appeared identical. Same deductible, same coverages, same
exclusions, same survey requirements. � I asked Seaworthy why they were
so much less expensive and they said it was largely to do with my years of
being with Geico and my never having made a claim - in addition to my 10+ years
of boat ownership.� At any rate, I signed up with Seaworthy and my
dealings to date have been totally pleasant. Their agents clearly know boats
and dealing with the post-condition and value survey issues was very reasonable
and pleasant.� Keep in mind that I drive like an old man and that I
haven't broken a boat badly since I was in college, so I can't speak for
how�Seaworthy deals with claims. But I'm damn happy to be paying so
little for boat insurance! �- Oban Lambie CirceC&C 29 MK1East Setauket,

Congrats! There was a recent thread on whether BoatUS was worth the extra
money they charge. �If you are looking for inexpensive insurance start
with your auto/home insurer, as there will be multi policy discounts.
�Remember, most carriers will run a credit check and it will show as an
inquiry on your credit report.
