Boat Insurance....

[wyldbillnj]

Progressive will NOT bend or yield to Monmouth County's request to be "additionally insured" only listing them as "additional interest". Just an FYI if you're there and looking to switch or anywhere that requires similar statement on the Dec. sheet.

Is anyone else aware of the minimum coverage that Monmouth Cove requires for "their coverage"? Im curious is others are aware of the $$

Geico/Boat US is $450 more than progressive would have been with same coverage and lower deductibles.

I have Markel American Insurance Co, and they have no problem listing MCove as an additional insured. $30K agreed value $509.

Do they pay for salvage separately, replacement cost separately, and vessel disposal cost separately?

Many insurers DONT cover anything but the replacement cost leaving you with a BIG BILL to pay on your own.

Captain, how do you construe this policy statement?

"Salvage and Abandonment
If we pay the limit shown on the Declarations Page for "Watercraft and Equipment" or "Trailer" [$30K], we reserve the right to take possession of the remains if we elect. At our request, you will transfer the title of the property to us or to a salvage buyer appointed by us. Any recovery or salvage loss will accrue entirely to our benefit until the sum paid by us has been made up."

[Capt. Debbie]

They pay no more than face value and that its for everything all totalled up.

SO if you're boat is worth $30k, they give you nothing more on a $30k policy. And we can keep it to do as we please with including give it to someone else.

Thanks. I'll give a call to the insurance co. to verify this is true.
