Insurance for f26
Time to insure the boat. Who insures without a marine survey done or is there no way around it?
Re: Insurance for f26
I have my home and personal property policy with State Farm and before I had a "commercial" vessel my boat was insured as a rider on my personal property policy for a fantastic price.
I believe Progressive, Geico, and Boat US will do personal water craft without a survey.

My F26 is insured by Progressive. The policy is an agreed upon value policy, and no survey was required.

Insurance without a survey? Wow! They will insure you without any awareness of the risks? How easy is it to get them to pay up if things go bad?

Re: Insurance for f26
Most will want a survey unless its just liability . I keep hearing some don't need it but when you call you get a different story . I know coverage seems to vary state to state , so call around .
And let use know what you find .

Do you need to get your car surveyed? Your home? Motorcycle?

They are not boats apples and oranges . And some sort of appraisal is needed on a house .bjanakos wrote:captainmaniac wrote:Insurance without a survey? Wow! They will insure you without any awareness of the risks? How easy is it to get them to pay up if things go bad?

Re: Insurance for f26
Do y'all have mandatory insurance in your states? Rhode Island does not, I find most boaters do not carry any insurance, just curious

Re: Insurance for f26
Many marinas require you to have insurance . And honestly I prefer it that way . You never know when someone may hit you docking

Re: Insurance for f26
I'm the same as Dog House. Insured with progressive, Hull and Liability. We set a Hull price and the insurance premium was set based on that.
Our marina also requires each slip holder to have 1 Million Liability for damage to docks and other boats.

Re: Insurance for f26
Idiots. What about liability for injury to people, or fuel spills? At least the federal liability limit for fuel spills is capped at $844K.I find most boaters do not carry any insurance
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!
Re: Insurance for f26
Try Erie Insurance,
I have them for my home, cars, and 2 boats very reasonable rates and quick to pay when you have a claim. They offer "Agreed Value" policy without a survey as well. I have my 1990 10 meter express and a 2002 21' Crown line bow rider insured for agreed value of 35k and 18k replacement and 500k of liability and pay less than $500 a year for all. I have a separate umbrella liability policy with them as well for 2 million which is another 225 a year. With 2 teenage drivers the umbrella brings peace of mind.

Re: Insurance for f26
I once had a swim platform destroyed by a guy like that. Never found out exactly who did it but myself and a couple other boaters in the area paid for his incompetence.prowlersfish wrote:This why I am glad many marinas make you have insurance . I hope this clown has it .
