David,
Interestingly enough, my insurance I bought from Mariner's was also
underwritten by Markel
Although my boat will be 2 years old this August, they still insured it
for my original purchase price (I had my dealer install everything I
wanted and he rolled it into one bill), so I didn't lose any depreciated
value from Aug 2006 to when they insured it January 24, 2008.
Like I said though, read the fine print and shop around--with MARINE
underwriters

Thanks Orlando, great info. That reinforces advice I had received
previously about using a marine underwriter. This discussion is very
timely for me, I got the dreaded letter from my insurance company
yesterday that I need to do a haul-out survey before they renew next
year (and fix most of the items the survey identifies!)
My policy is a Helmsman Yacht policy written by Markel American
Insurance Company, represented locally (Annapolis) by International
Marine Insurance Services.
I currently pay $630 per year, of which $471 is for the boat.
My "Replacement Cost" is capped by my 'limit of insurance', which for
me is currently $65,000. I've got an old boat.
Looks like I need to do some thinking and some shopping.
