It really depends on the type of policy. Most "boat insurance" added to
auto and homeowners policies pay claims based on "book" or depreciated value
less deductable and may not cover environmental damage or other specificaly
marine risks. "Book value" is usually way below what you would have to pay
to replace the boat. A real "yacht policy" will usually be for a stated
value less deductable and cover more marine specific risks.

I'd like to know more. Was it just poor an inept servicing of the claim
or
did they try to not pay? Was it a big loss or just a ding?

Interestingly, Liberty Mutual seemed the most customer friendly and
responsive which also was part of my decision.

We'll have to switch to a marine carrier next year anyway as Nova Scotia
and
New Brunswick figure big in our plans.

I had a friend that did the same type of thing with Allstate. Had his
car and house insured with them and just added his boat for a dirt
cheap price. Seemed like a great deal until he filed a claim.
