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

[Jon Vez]

As many have stated, location, boat use etc. play a large role. However,
here in the Northeast I have consistently gotten quotes from BoatUS that are
substantially higher than anyone else. I just did a fresh round of insurance
shopping for the new boat and BUS was $600 higher and their deductible was
also higher--

 Glad this topic came up, my insurance is due for renewal next month so I
did a little shopping. I currently have Boat US and they are awaiting my
$1090 annual payment.  At ricks suggestion, I called Nationwide and got a
quote that is nearly $600 dollars less for the same coverage. I agree that
changing for a few bucks doesn't make sense but I'm not in Congress or the
White House so $600 matters to me.

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.
