Insurance

I just bought my first boat ( ADAGIO 1996 Catalina 28 mkII ) and I am shopping for insurance. Any advice on marine insurance brokers? They are pretty easy to find online, but I was wondering if there were one or two that are preferred over the rest.

Any advice/comments would be appreciated!

I found quite a difference in prices for policies, but also learned that some insure to full replacement cost, others only for the depreciated value of the boat and electronics--ie substantially less, even if the amount of the policy is higher. I learned to shop around, and read the fine print carefully.
