[C320-list] C320-list Digest, Vol 2888, Issue 1

[Jeff Willis]

Good morning All,
I am looking to purchase insurance as well.  Your comments regarding Power Squadron are interesting..   
How is the customer service/ claims handling?  Have you ever had to make a claim?  If so. We're you satisfied with the outcome?

Maqrk:

Regarding boat insurance, and notably sailboats, the best comprehensive
coverage and absolutely most competitive pricing is through the Power
Squadrons.  The underwriters for that insurance company know what boating
is about so they adjust rates with reason.  Only thing, you have to be a
member of the Power Squadrons. I have price checked (reality checks)
comparing  the Power Squadrons insurance against others for 15 years and
there is no comparison.
