Try these guys... they represent lots of different companies and treated me great when I did have a major claim. I used them because so many SSCA members recommended them.

I think there are a number of different options for your boat insurance. I know that I would never use that carrier again especially when you upgrade. the problem with most insurers is that they are beholden to their investors rather than their customers! I use United marine Underwriters and have been very happy with them!

Oh - don't shop for cheap insurance. get good coverage. Boat U.S. is probably worth the extra 500 bucks.

Insurance that cost less I am all for. Just read and compare your policy with other insurers. Most insurers use the same format but may differ on things as spill cleanup etc. This can cost you thousands without it added to your policy.
