Bass Boat Insurance???
Bass Boat Insurance???
I am looking to change companies and need some feed back on companies that deal mainly with boats.
I am insured by a very large company (SF) and am unhappy with the coverage.
Six years ago I damaged my cowling and had to replace it, filed a claim and all was fine. Last year I hit an underwater obstruction on the Delta and destroyed my lower unit. I filed a claim and my agent told me "I should pay for it myself because I would probably be cancelled for too many claims". I explained to her that I hadn't filed a claim in 5 years and she told me that (SF) boat insurance is like homeowners insurance not car insurance "more then 2 claims in a 5-6 year period and you will (most likely) be cancelled". I told her that most homeowner claims are for a lot more money then most boat claims. She said it's not the amount of the claim, it's the number of claims in a given period of time.
Thanks, John.

I've been insured by Stan and Ken for as long as I've owned my boat. Great service, low rates, and beyond that their both my friends. It's true, you really can't go wrong with them... ChrisR

+1 she's the bomb and will definitely take care of you personally and will not just refer you to their web site. She cares about bass fisherman and offers prop insurance.
