Looks like Boat U.S. doubled the cost of my insurance coverage this year. My 1982 F-36 will be about $2,500/year. Maybe I shouldn't have put that teak & holly sole in there and all the other expensive stuff. Nah...it's worth it. (Insured for $60k)

Anyway, here's the interesting part. I called Geico, because I have my car insurance with them, and they say they don't insure ANY Trojan or Carver boats. Of course, I replied with disgust like anytime the name Carver is mentioned in the same sentence with Trojan! (I know the current arrangement)

So the hell with Geico. But have any of you had really good luck with a certain marine insurance company?? If so, please share. Boat US was really pretty decent after a hurricane down here...but let's keep 'em fair!

That's not that bad...with whom?? Boat US wants $2450/year (was 1200 last year) and my replacement value is at only 60K. In 20 years the insurance will have bought the boat...but this F-36 is such a tank, it might just last another 25.

I guess livin' in FL I'll have to get used to it...even though we've only had 2 hurricanes in 75 years. People who don't know how to tie their boats-up for a storm are really costing the rest of us one hell of a lot!

Didn't think to try Hagerty...thanks. I guess a 1982 is getting old enough for a collector's insurance agency. Will advise for everyone's benefit what they quote me.

I always wanted one of them really vintage Trojans like a Sea Queen...like a little sister for my F-36.
