When we purchased our 1956 Matthews 42 with twin 454 gas V8 engines we had 
difficulty obtaining insurance at any cost. After a haul-out survey, drawn 
fasteners, and certifying the survey findings we got to my qualifications to 
own and operate the vessel.

The insurance company that was most promising asked about my ownership and 
experience operating/navigating similar size vessels. They also asked about 
what training/education related to boat operation I had competed.

Fortunately, I had all those bases covered and we were able to bind coverage.  
The cost is 4X what we pay for Calypso.  We were expecting 3X, hoping for 2X.

I expect newbies, possibly during COVID buying more boat than they could handle 
along with high payouts from storm damage is driving insurance companies out of 
the market.

This is strange.  I was chatting with a friend who is looking for a larger boat 
(power).  He said a couple of insurance representatives and a knowledgeable 
broker told him he could not get insurance for a boat more than 15 feet longer 
than his existing boat unless he has a master's license.  Anybody else heard 
that?

Can't seem to find an answer on the internet.  And how does one buy a first 
boat if it's long?

He's okay because he is only moving from 23 feet to 37 feet.  He has taken the 
Power Squadron course and said that didn't matter.
