GEICO also required that i get survey by Feb. 11th to re-insure my 1974
C&C 35. After I got the new policy, which raised my rate and placed the
boats value below the survey's median value, I drop Geico. Using the
same survey, the boat is now insured with USAA/Markel at a significantly
lower premium at a value slightly above the surveyor's median but also
above GEICO's value that it had been insured for the last 8 years.

Several boat owners in my area use smaller independent insurers.
Check around. You don't necessarily have to go with one of the "big"
companies.
Unfortunately not available to all but Touche' is insured through
USAA. My policy is actually a legacy policy underwritten by USAA
itself. I think USAA now uses Progressive which might be a slight
recommendation for Progressive. So, my point is to get a quote from
Progressive.

Good morning all -
I know this isn’t a new topic, but given the semi-recent
requirement for V & C independent surveys for insurance, I’m
shopping for an alternative to Geico.
Recently received instructions from them to completely open up /
“repair” about 4’ of my stbd topside due to a somewhat higher
moisture reading. Even the surveyor said it wasn’t an issue.
I could go on belly-aching about other ‘directives’ from them, but
suffice to say am looking for your collective wisdom …and other
companies !
