I don't think they showed anything near that low. Rates seem to go up as you
go south, both because of hurricanes and because of more months in the
water.

Who's your carrier?

Hi Dave........

Ya, that is what I thought too. When I bought my boat August 2001 I
experinced the same as other posters: Boat to old to get a loan. Boat
too old to get insurance. A surveyor while in Port Townsend WA
mentioned quietly to try Allstate.

I am in the PNW and since I got the coverage in 2001 have stayed in the
area. I am dreading my insurance options when I headout in 2007.

I also have never made a claim. I do get a "safe boater" discount for
having one of thoes dreaded state boat driver license. I did not think
they needed to know about my "other" license. Did not want to mix work
and recreation.
Livin' on the cheep, Bob
