[C320-list] United Marine Underwriters /// Check out Nationwide Ins.

[Chris Burti]

We have had Boat US from day one...we had a major claim from a hard
grounding resulting from mooring shackle failure during Hurricane
Isabel. They handled it quickly and flawlessly. Now, I haul and block
when a hurricane is imminent and they pay half. When news reports of
the fire at Mccotters marina circulated, they called me to find out if
I needed their assistance before I knew for sure myself.

I am not taking a chance on moving to another insurer just to save a few bucks.
