James, I'm with Dennis on this one. The only knock against the external switches is that if something in the bilge rolls under the switch, it could stick on and drain your battery. I and many more have decided to live with this risk. Give me a shout offline (ie: ring me in the office) and we

I can't rate ACE high enough. Rate has not changed significantly, very flexible with late haul out etc, and more importantly paid for the keel to be re-bed even though it was pretty obvious there was no damage from striking Rick etc -- Jonathan Indigo - Southport CT On Jul 19, 2012, at 16:26,

Where you live is important on boat insurance. Down here in hurricane land, BoatUS is off the charts, as are many other insurers. BoatUS wanted close to 2K to insure my 1974 Bristol 30 with a $10,000 hull value, while Progressive provides the same coverage for $742 on a 12-month policy. From:

I agree with David -- it's definitely worth the couple of hundred $$$ a year to go with BoatUS. I've had a few claims for various reasons over fifteen years (most charter-related) that they covered quickly and fully, without complaint and with no increase in premium. My 1979 Landfall 38 has an

My C&C 25 was wrecked in Hurricane Wilma and beached in a sensitive Florida crocodile protection area on Key Biscayne. The rangers were hot on my trail, needless to say. Progressive removed the wreck quickly, even though hundreds of boats were wrecked all over South Florida, and had an $8K chec

My C&C 27 Mk 1 was washed into the parking lot in Hurricane Katrina and was a total loss. At the time, I was insured by State Farm. Under the policy, their obligation to remove the wreck was dollar limited and would not have been sufficient to pay for the wreck removal had the State of Louisian

Progressive is about half the price of BoatUS and does not require a survey. There is an upper limit to what they insure – maybe 20K – and they have a large deductible for named storms, however. From: johnr...@aol.com Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 3:21 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re

I had been using Boat US for my previous boat. Also, they were the insurer for my recently purchased 29 MKII with the PO. They sent me a quote for $13K less in value and at a rate nearly twice what they had been charging the PO. Nothing had changed the re boat. Still moored at the same locat

Okay so I have some quotes. Boat US is the highest and 2 times that of the lowest. The lowest wants me to get the surveyor back out and Boat US just want my money. Is Boat US insurance worth the extra money? Maybe just for the convenience factor. I've been using them for the Oday 22 and, ha
