Insurance Question

Post by Freebird »

Just wondering who you guys use. I've had State Farm for over 25 years, but they cancelled my policy on my 58 because I still had it in FL after buying it last year.

My agent told me just to let him know it was en route to TN, and the policy would be reinstated. Well, once I had it headed that way, it seems SF had a change in heart and told me they would reinstate once it was in TN. Well, guess what? Another change in heart as they now say they won't reinstate the policy because I had a claim last year! I had four friggin boats insured with them last year and never a claim prior to that.

I know you guys have older classics for the most part, so we're bound to be in the same boat in terms of insurance. I'm running out of options and was hoping for your input.

Thanks!

LOL If I had been an hour later coming up the Tennessee in Decatur, AL, I may have just done that!

There's a railroad bridge with 12' vertical clearance which doesn't show up on my chartplotter. Talk about messing up a nice night cruise!

Good to see you're still among the living, even if you're living in a bad neighborhood! LOL

I'M JUST KIDDING BERTRAM GUYS!!!

Who do you have or will you have your insurance with?

Your custom job is bound to be a booger to insure I would think.

Allstate has mine, and have never even seen Dreamsicle. Glad they didn't look a couple of years ago.

I just moved mine from USAA to Travelers and saved almost $400 from the quote I received from Boat US...and that was for a 25 Contender.

I'm still shopping for a 31 Sportfish and now can't sleep after seeing the shots of Tennessee's interior...WOW!
