Default Re: Need Insurance


I said it once before in an old link - it is a such a PITA to get insurance for our boats because most of them are older ( although many in better than new condition ).

Because a boat is a mid 70's boat, it is automatically judged as a less valuable boat than many, cheesy, POS, new boats.

We should, as a group of several hundred owners of the same boat - give or take, use our purchase power to persuade an insurance company that we, as a collective, are a good risk and have very valuable, market-value-holding boats. AND, that the typical SeaCraft owner is an above average boater and in most cases 'saltier', and less prone to careless accidents than your average new boat owner ( who has less water time by years, if not decades ). Therefore, a better risk.

Can anyone take this idea to the next level ? A family or friend in the biz ?

Just an idea.
