Could be. Of course, for 40 years down here in Naples, there hasn't
been a problem. Two bad years, and the insurance industry panics and
starts raping folks. Perhaps they should have been saving the money
they collected on those high premiums for a rainy day.

Florida is a big state. I remember reading that the area in which we
had property (Jupiter) had not had a direct hurricane hit in over 100
years at the time we bought.
Three years following our purchase, we got direct or near direct hits
three times.

Statistically, we have as high or higher probability of getting a
hurricane up here in MA this year as Jupiter does.


Right. But I bet that you don't have the same problem getting boat
insurance up there.




So...move...sell your boat...pay the premium.

Nope, nope, and already doing that.

As I said in my first post, this doesn't affect people like me who are
already insured. It affects new buyers...which will kill the boating
market. Reread the title. This isn't a personal bitch session. It affects
tens of thousands of people, and could end up affecting an entire industry
and the folks whose jobs rely upon that industry.
