I have an exposed engine also, but tt logs. I had to go to an underwriter for our insurance. I'll find out tonight who it is. It might be a nationwide outfit. I don't remember.

I just put medical liability on mine in case someone gets hurt. Did not put insurance on the boat itself.

I have O/T headers. I have insurance. Call Remland Ins. in the city or Orange, CA.714-532-3341. Ask for Doug Samis. Tell him Dan Froehlich (sound like Fro-Lick) sent you. I dont know if he can do TX. Worst he will say is NO>

I got a quote on mine down here in Victoria for 241 dollars a year insured mine for 8000. Not a bad deal for me... I only paid 3500 for my boat :wink: Only thing they asked me was top speed of the boat. I can find out the company if you want or just call Hamilton-Sadler Insurance in Victoria, Tx. (361)576-1165. Ask for Zack... when you get him tell him Kenny Moore gave you the number. Might help you out. $241 covers me if it sinks, blows up, run over somebody... Good luck!!

I will have to try that hot bote #, I don't care if it sinks or blows up on the river, I want theft or vandalism and liability. I can get it back from the depth myself and all the parts will be there to build a new one. OT headers are a no no for ins co's. Tunnels hulls, Speed and HP also are big deciding factors.

The insurance thing has been an ongoing battle for us. We have tried unsuccessfully for years. We have been able to get what they call "racers coverage". Basically, as long as the boat is on the trailer it's covered, but once it hits the water we have no coverage. (this is with the brand new 2005 hull, with our 84 Southwind we could not even get the racers coverage).
Good luck!
