Surveoyer/insurance

[JohnS]

Why do you want a survey?? Decide on what YOU want the boat insured for and then insure it for an "agreed value" and be done......

That is the way I had my old SeaCraft insured. You can get a survey done but what if they say it is worth, let's say, 5 grand. I think not!!!

Boat US is not writing new policies down here anymore. They decided not to. Found that out when I went to have them write the policy on the new boat back on April. Had the policy through West Marine and when the two merged, well, they stopped writing. Hence, I now have the boat insured with Geico. No claims to speak of so I can not tell you if they are good or bad, hope I never find out. Check with your insurance carrier on you auto and see if they offer the "agreed value"...
