Last week I renewed my policy with Progressive Insurance for my 46'
Beneteau. Agreed coverage is $230k. Policy was $1300, and that
includes a $6000 claim I had with them two years ago. Boat is reg. in
Houston, Tx.. Coverage includes down to Mexico, and out 75 miles away
from shore I believe.
Could not say enough positive things about that company.
Wow, that sounds like a deal! My boat is on
Matagorda Bay not too far south of Houston and my
insurance is almost as much as yours although my
86 Irwin 38 is worth less than 1/4 of what your
boat is insured for.
I think I'm going to give Progressive a call today.

You in Port O'Conner Don?
Nice place..Worked crewboats out of there for many years, Port Lavaca,
and Rockport, Aransas pass, Mansfield.
You know when coming in from offshore you have the right port because
the jetties look just like a wine bottle on radar ;0). Once I had a
deckhead get all his fingers chopped off...sucked into a turbo. Had to
run him into Port O'Conner for a waiting Medical helo.
He started going into shock about the time I hit the jetties. Lucky we
had a high tide because I ran the flats directly from the jetties to
the Port O'Conner ICW breakwaters. I only had 4 ft of water under a
140 ft boat that drew 7.5 ft sitting still. At night.
