| Don - I saw similar results yesterday when going with Progressive v Geico. The repairs wanted exceeded the boat value - and oddly the surveyor commented how well-kept the boat was. Think I will explore the USAA option once I get some Breathing room. Tom

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 !
