I don't trust BoatUS. I joined the unlimited water-tow / trailer program at WM this time last year, based off a friends recommendation. I called them a few weeks later to inquire about my membership card, documentation, etc that had not yet arrived... They had no record of me joining, but WM certainly took my $! A few calls/call-backs and they eventually found the cc transaction #, based off my receipt, and was able to enroll me. Since I had already started boating I asked whether I would have been covered during this time?!? She said yes, but I doubt it. My membership was not restarted at the new date, but rather when I first "joined". Anyway, I never ever got a card. I expect to have something to put in my wallet! I never got a renewal reminder this year. Any other company invests in a mailing to their customers for renewal. I never ever got anything official, just a membership # over the phone... which is probably written on a piece of paper somewhere in a folder never to be found. I never had to thankfully use the service. I don't trust them. I think I will go with SeaTow this year. I see far more SeaTow boats on the water than BoatUS.
I understand the conversation is regarding coverage...I just have a $75 liability policy through State Farm for my Seafari. I plan on calling BoatUS today to ask "what's the story here?!?"
Is the insurance portion of BoatUS handled by Geico? Fr. Frank's comment makes it seem so, just curious...
