Anything with twins under 25ft is going to be very tough to find coverage, and if you do, expect to pay a big premium.

Well after I called Markel and was switched to another division or something I got a quote of 1498.00 so thats not so bad. The coverage is nothing to write home about but its better than nothing. I have a few others that are supposed to give me some numbers today...
Thanks to everyone for your help. I'll see what happens today with the other quotes. :rolleyes:

You guys don't know how lucky you are! I'm a retired cop/Ex-Boat dealer, no tickets, no accidents. 45 years of experience, Have owned Eliminators, Skaters, Spectre's and DCB's With 1/2 a million liability and "STATED VALUE POLICY" for $375,000 for the Boat, $20,000 for the trailer my annual policy is $5,300.00 with no layup and the speed of 142 mph and only used in fresh water lakes and inland water ways, no under age drivers or kids in the family and we have a "Operator Named" policy. The boat is stored inside an alarmed building and never left alone or parked on the street. With gas being as it is my fuel costs for the weekend is over $1,000+ in fuel alone! That's diesel fuel for the freightliner and fuel for the Boat. Now stop your crying and consider what I've got invested and because of the high fuel prices I cannot use the boat as I'd like.
I'm one unhappy boater and I don't see it getting any better as time goes on!
