State Farm gave me double the valuation for my 1979 36-1 Talisman for ½ of the 
cost. This was with no survey. They were also the only company in the country 
that would touch my 1963 Hatteras 34 Sport Fish. That had a survey, and they 
did it for the full amount. I could not even get anyone to do a simple 
liability, let alone full insurance. My surveyor said his experience with 
Progressive is good luck getting $$ out of them.

I’ve purchased two 80s era boats in the past 5 years and have gone with 
Progressive. They haven’t had any issues with my surveys (and the surveys found 
a number of issues).

 

They’ve also covered a long distance tow home, outside of the max distance cap, 
and paid for a haul out when I ran around, both times they were cooperative.

Good morning all - 
I know this isn’t a new topic, but given the semi-recent requirement for V & C 
independent surveys for insurance, I’m shopping for an alternative to Geico.  
Recently received instructions from them to completely open up / “repair” about 
4’ of my stbd topside due to a somewhat higher moisture reading. Even the 
surveyor said it wasn’t an issue. 
I could go on belly-aching about other ‘directives’ from them, but suffice to 
say am looking for your   collective wisdom …and other companies !
