I have lurked on this newsgroup for quite a while and I am about to get
my first boat, a Swee****er 20 foot pontoon. I ordered it and will take
delivery in about a week or so. My family and I are extremely excited!

I have some questions about insurance though. How much insurance should
I carry on a new boat like this? How much do you guys pay annually for
your insurance and who is it with? I just got a quote back from BoatUS
and it was $1000.00 per year! That seems extremely high to me. A
Progressive Direct came back at $100 per year. That seems a bit low.

By the way, I have taken the USCGA/USPS boating safety course so
that should save me a little.

Thanks for your help!

I only valued my sailboat and trailer at 5K...so I got a rider attached
to my house/car insurance. It costs me $100.00 a year.

By the way, the Canadian Power & Sail Squadron has contacted an insurer
who promises discounts to members who have passed courses. The more
courses under your belt...the bigger the discount.
