New Owner Insurance Question
Hi everyone,
been lurking here for a while ready all the great information. I bought my 1980 61MY in Salem, Ma in April and brought her home to Dunedin, FL near Clearwater/Tampa.
I bought a policy with Boat US and am wondering if the numbers are good or bad.. Seems high to me but looking for your wise advice.
We are being charged $7200 annually.
Finding a policy during the purchase was a chore so I just went with them. Now that we are home and settled we are ready to get some feedback and quotes...
Thanks!
Dan
Re: New Owner Insurance Question
What was the surveyed value? It seems high to me, but I don't live in that area and I know the premiums are higher in FL because of storm risks- at least I think so.
Re: New Owner Insurance Question
Surveyed at $130. She needed a ton of clean up and needed some systems fixed. We have fixed everything and she is beautiful. 99% interior wood is flawless... The PO had so much garbage on her that the surveyor could not even get to some areas hahah Took a week and a dumpster to clean her out before we left to come home.
I think that is low and will be getting another survey once all the remodel is completed and electronics are updated.
So basically, we are paying $7200 for hull value of $130
