I pay Progressive about $600/year for a $20K boat with full replacement
coverage. It's on the trailer at a secure marina when I'm not using it.
I'm in S. FL so that has a lot to do with it, I'm sure. I would
expect to pay half as much away from the "hurricane belt".

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!
