Just saw that Tropical Storm Gamma may be heading our way:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphi...204548W_sm.gif

Will I even be able to get insurance tomorrow? I started the
application with BoatUS today, and they said to call tomorrow to
activate it once the deal is finalized. But that was before NOAA
issued their latest report.

Ironically, the bank gave me the check today without getting
verification of insurance. I think they forgot. I could close on the
deal tomorrow, but do I really want to if insurance won't cover the
boat until after the storm passes?


Don't sweat it.

If you advised the company or agent that you will be purchasing and
picking up the new boat sometime over the next week or so the policy
will be in effect once you do so.

Although you cannot "officially" bind coverage with a VM message, it
would be in your best interest to verify your conversation with your
agent via VM tonight.

After that, relax as you are covered. ;-)

I have an application number...which has to be worth something.



That locks the deal. Confirm it with a call to your agent before you
pick up the boat tomorrow (even if you get VM) to confirm it.

Relax. You will be covered.


Thanks, Jim. I take it you're in the insurance business?


In a way, yes.

In the past, definitely.

But my advice is solid regardless of my background.
