TOPIC: INSURANCE ?????

where can I get liability insurance for 1958 wooden boat?

Dave,
Did you try Hagerty yet?

Haggerty....

Check with your home owners policy. Mine covered liability with no increase in premium. The boat is 14 foot with a 65 HP. The agent said "Oh, you could not hurt anybody with that small a boat." So my homeowners covers up to a 70 HP motor, liability only. If the boat in on my property, I get $5000 damage coverage also.

Doh thanks Ron!!!!!!

I use Haggerty. 10K agreed value, high liabilities coverage (in the 100's of K), some towing (not much). I also have unlimited towing through Boat US (I take my boat way out). About $250 a year. But you can bet i will be checking with my homeowners.....

I just insured my home built Glen-L Zip Thru Hagerty and it was $243. I didn't think about coverage under home owners I will be checking into that.

I have my insurance with American Family. The liability on my home owners covers my boat too, and I pay about $60 a year more for "replacement value" for my '59 Thompson and motor. It my not be the best way to rely on "replacement value", but it is better than nothing and we are protected if something happens. And like everyone else, I hope we never have to use it.

Just got insurance through Hagerty for my little MFG. With the ACBS discount is was $200 even - otherwise it would have been $217. $200 is also their minimum premium per year.

State Farm would not even insure it with a boat policy, let alone add it to my homeowners policy. They will not insure any boat over 30 years old.

Hagerty customer service is great and buying the policy was quick and easy. Did it all via email and phone. They do require sending them lots of pictures of your rig to establish condition.

I'll give my props to Hagery as well. Top Notch Service. I also Insure my '67 beetle through them. Agreed value, Max coverage, unlimited mileage, no use restrictions, $115.00 a year.
