I am going with triple A. Call my agent Chris Rusk 949-823-3835. He'll give it to you straight with no lake restrictions.

I'll give you the number to my Geico guy tommorow. Took care of me with agreed value and no restrictions, but another guy had problems getting a policy.

Geico 888-395-1200
Also, check out the Hot Boat Insurance topic in "Hot Boats Hot Spots" (page 2 or 3).

******** ALlSTATE *******
They gave me no problems, had my boat, trucks, RVs, and house and they treated me great. No questions asked, just tell them the basic engine size and forget bragging about all the horse power you've got!

[CoastGuardSteve]

I have to agree with iparky, Allstate is pretty good. I was just visiting my agent today double checking on a policy for myself when I DO get a boat , finally. Don't bank on my opinion though, I haven't actually experienced boat ins. yet. Good luck!

I tried Progressive's web site to get a quote on a boat I was thinking of buying. I entered all the info. and at the end it tells you that they won't insure a boat with a single engine that has over 350 HP (I may be a little off on the max. HP but it was in that range). I don't know what would happen if you were less than truthful and had a claim, probably not good.

call 1-800-boatins they cover just about everything

Bubble,
Thanks. I've read and heard a lot about Progressive and cars, my sister in law is a manager of an insurance agency. Until Progressive messes up in some way, I have full confidence in them.
I had AAA for 25 years and all I heard from people was how expenxive they were and how they were less than cooperative in losses. In that 25 years I had 3 losses and not once did I have a problem and when I told them my rates, most were impressed. It's all just a matter of preference.
Jeff,
I got the same message you did so I called them and was told they don't give quotes for boats via the website. Something about different states having different coverage limits that vary more than the automotive side. BS? I don't know but it sounded reasonable to me. As far as not being totally honest with specs, if there's ever a loss and they find out, the loss will most likely be denied.

I have AAA on my house, cars, trailer and now on my boat. They were great, they came out took pictures, asked about the hp rating sayed I was not sure and they signed me up.
I have a 18' cp with bbc, tunnel ram, ot bassets, and this was no problems.
