Re: Stus-List Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated

I guess they must have updated the application software. I had been covered for 
3 years when they realized that Imzadi, my 38, was too big for their 
underwriting standards.

 

I do admit that while I was covered, I was occasionally amused by the 
promotional messages that lauded how big a benefit it was that they covered 
road service on the trailer for my boat.

 

After Progressive didn’t renew my policy a local agent placed me with Victoria, 
the marine insurance subsidiary of Nationwide. Good experience until they 
stopped insuring boats in North Carolina.

The only bad thing I have heard about Progressive was from someone hit by a 
freighter. The freighter didn’t hang around long, not like it hurt THEM very 
much, and Progressive was apparently clueless about tracking down their agent 
and getting paid by their insurance. Totally the freighter’s fault too, they 
got off course and hit some ANCHORED boats.

Re: Stus-List Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated

2019-11-12 Thread schiller via CnC-List
I can say that we were treated wonderfully by AutoOwners with our 
dismasting experience on Corsair (Redwing 35, C 35-1).  We originally 
went with AutoOwners in 1996 when we purchased Corsair because no other 
insurance company wanted to insure a 1970 hull.  AutoOwners responded 
quickly, the agent was easy to work with and after the quote for full 
repair exceeded the agreed hull value they cut us a check and let us 
know the boat was still ours to repair or dispose.  We chose to 
dispose.  Our agreed to value payout was basically enough to buy our 
newer C 35-3.


We insured our C 35-3 with Boat US since that was where she was 
already insured.  When our Redwing policy was up for renewal, our 
insurance company contacted us and I told them I assumed they were done 
with us.  They said definitely not and we changed our policy for the C 
35-3 over to AutoOwners.


There was no discussions with them over depreciation on the dismasting 
quote.  The would have covered everything up to the agreed to hull value.


AutoOwners has made me a convert.  I have dealt with them for two house 
claims and the dismasting and they have been easy to work with (two 
different agents, one was my deceased Mother's house).

They also made several accounting errors in calculating how much to reimburse

I went with them because last winter I sailed to the Bahamas, and their policy 
with additional Bahamas coverage was not very expensive.  But given that they 
do have any restrictions on what season one sails in the Bahamas, I expect 
their rates are going to go up dramatically.  (Funny how insurance companies 
adjust premia to reflect past losses, rather than pricing risk as they are

I submitted a claim under a BoatUS CNA policy years ago, and it was handled 
satisfactorily and professionally.  In stark contrast, I had a hard time 
getting a straight answer from GEICO about the depreciation issue (layers of 
bureaucracy).  I am not surprised that their claims process is frustrating.

After the founder of BoatUS passed away a few years ago, ( by all accounts a

My experience with BOATUS was stellar years ago. I hit a log and bent the prop 
shaft. They didn’t even send an adjuster, just had the yard fax them an 
estimate and they paid it no question. I don’t even think I had a deductible 
because I had paid to get hauled anyway for painting. There was no depreciation 
at all. How does a prop shaft and prop “depreciate” anyway? They are good for 
decades and then you hit something and they are no longer.
It is a real shame BOATUS went down the drain.

Re: Stus-List Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated

2019-11-11 Thread James Nichols via CnC-List
 
Bruce,
Just an FYI, the ISO for watercraft is WT 00 01.  Most companies either follow 
the ISO because they have been tested in court for the language used, or 
because the ISO has already been approved by the state so they don't have to 
get their own policy approved.  

There are many companies that do use their own policies as you said, but they 
are based on the ISO with some changes to the language as they try to exclude 
something that the base policy doesn't.  Typically, that language is tested in 
court pretty quickly and if they lose, they tend to revert their language back 
to the original base policy.  The mid-west company I worked for for a few years 
went that route.  They managed to win a few court cases so some of their 
language became standardized among other 'write your own' carriers.
There is one other policy standard that exists that I forgot about until now.  
Lloyd's of London.  They write a policy that uses some of the language that I 
have seen other's mention in this string that you don't find in ISO forms.  
Progressive, Heritage and others resell Lloyd's whenever they get a policy that 
doesn't fall into their normal book of business (types of policies they 
specialize in).  I've not dealt with a lot of Lloyd's policies, but they are 
definitely different.  If anyone on this list has a Lloyd's policy, I highly 
recommend the coverage review I mentioned earlier.  Very highly.

I agree with everything James said except for the bit about ISO forms.  Yes, 
ISO forms are pretty standard for Homeowners, Renters, and even Commercial 
General Liability.  For boats, however, I have not seen the standard ISO forms, 
meaning that each carrier's policy may differ, even substantially.  That means 
that one should not rely on having standard policy language that is only 
altered by endorsements.  

Just my $.02 worth,

 Some terms to know if you are dealing with a claim. 
Replacement Cost Value (RCV) - this is the cost of buying a new boat or part in 
today's dollars.  You probably have your boat insured for this amount. 
Actual Cash Value (ACV) - the amount that a boat or part is worth after 
depreciation is applied. 
Depreciation - everything has an average expected lifespan. Similar to how cars 
lose value (depreciate) the minute you drive off the lot, so do boats.  Boats 
depreciate as a whole, similar to the way cars do. But parts, like winches, 
also depreciate individually. 
Most parts are estimated to last less than 20 years. 
For example cushions may have an average life of 5 years. The wood table 15 
years, the engine 20 years.  Etc.
The hull, mast and stainless tubing will probably have longer lifespans 
estimated.  35-50 years.
Depreciation is calculated by dividing the age of the item by the expected 
lifespan.  So 3 year old cushions will be depreciated by 60%.
Recoverable vs. non-recoverable depreciation - your policy may be a RCV policy 
or it may be an ACV policy.   If you have an ACV policy,  all you ever get is 
the ACV of the part being replaced. So you can not recover the depreciation. 
If you have a RCV policy,  they hold the depreciation until you do the repairs 
or replace the item meaning you recover (are reimbursed for) the full cost to 
repair or replace the items. 
Once you do the repairs,  you submit your invoice and they reimburse you. 
I have a lot of experience with home owners claims,  and not as much with 
automotive or boats,  but from my understanding some policies for boats and 
autos always depreciate materials and materials are always ACV and only the 
labor is recoverable.  
Check with your agent to find out the exact details of your policy. 
You can also nearly always add endorsements to your policy to make it pay for 
'everything' but that drives up the cost of the policy. 
>From what I have seen in my 10+ years in the industry,  most people aren't 
>insured the way they think they are which is the reason why some of you left 
>your previous providers and went with new providers. 
Nearly every policy provided by all carriers is identical,  because they all 
pretty much just use a standard ISO form.  But the agent at your new insurance 
policy listened to the issues you had and added endorsements to provide 
coverage to make sure you spent have the same issue again.  
If you get coverage review requests from your agent,  you should probably take 
them up on it.  They probably send you a request about once a year. 
I know this was long,  but I hope it cleared up some questions about what and 
why things happen in a claim.

the ACV of the part being replaced. So you can not recover the depreciation. 
If you have a RCV policy,  they hold the depreciation until you do the repairs 
or replace the item meaning you recover (are reimbursed for) the full cost to 
repair or replace the items. 
Once you do the repairs,  you submit your invoice and they reimburse you. 
I have a lot of experience with home owners claims,  and not as much with 
automotive or boats,  but from my understanding some policies for boats and 
autos always depreciate materials and materials are always ACV and only the 
labor is recoverable.  
Check with your agent to find out the exact details of your policy. 
You can also nearly always add endorsements to your policy to make it pay for 
'everything' but that drives up the cost of the policy.

Nearly every policy provided by all carriers is identical,  because they all 
pretty much just use a standard ISO form.  But the agent at your new insurance 
policy listened to the issues you had and added endorsements to provide 
coverage to make sure you spent have the same issue again.  
If you get coverage review requests from your agent,  you should probably take 
them up on it.  They probably send you a request about once a year. 
I know this was long,  but I hope it cleared up some questions about what and 
why things happen in a claim.

Re: Stus-List Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated coverage

2019-11-11 Thread Dave. via CnC-List
Be careful to understand your insurance policy. Lots of terms like “replacement 
value” or “agreed value” or “new for old” have different definitions. See the 
definitions section of your policy. Sometimes the “agreed value” provision 
applies only in the case of a total loss while a “depreciated value” provision 
is applied in case of a partial loss. If you purchase your insurance from a 
“marine” broker or even a “marine” agent you should be able to get straight 
answers about how claims will be handled but if you are buying your insurance 
from the same person you are buying your home owners or auto coverage you may 
find the broker/agent less knowledgeable about your yacht/boat policy because 
it’s a very different product. And remember that a “broker” works for you while 
an “agent” works for the insurance company. Property/casualty insurances are 
regulated by your state’s insurance commissioner while a true “ marine” policy 
falls under federal jurisdiction. A lower price often equates to less coverage. 
I suggest you be very careful here. Just my opinion.

You'll want to look very closely for issues related to depreciation.  If you 
have a policy in PDF format, you can do a search on words like "depreciate" 
"depreciation" and 20%" and you should find it.

The change was that things other than the agreed upon hull value depreciate for 
older boats.  I saw the new provision in my GEICO policy after this list

You shouldconfirm how salvage is treated.  That can be a real shock.  Also, you 
should confirm if pollution from a sinking or spillage is covered.

2019-11-10 Thread Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List
After this discussion emerged on this list a year or two ago, I contacted GEICO 
(which had become the Boat US insurer) and asked whether, if I were dismasted, 
the depreciation would apply.  They looked into it and replied yes.  As I 
recall, there was a 20% floor.  In other words, if I got dismasted, I would 
have to pay 80% of the replacement cost.  I have a 42 foot boat with a 60 foot 
mast.  I was on the phone to Travelers that day.

I have Geico Insurance through BoatUS. Agreed value is agreed value. They only 
depreciate items that are depreciable, like sails or the engine. A couple of 
years ago, my boom cracked after getting hung up on a crab pot. Geico paid the 
full cost of replacing the boom - parts and labor, with no depreciation. I 
suspect your new insurance company's policy does the same thing.

Re: Stus-List Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated coverage...

I have Geico Insurance through BoatUS. Agreed value is agreed value. They
only depreciate items that are depreciable, like sails or the engine. A
couple of years ago, my boom cracked after getting hung up on a crab pot.
Geico paid the full cost of replacing the boom - parts and labor, with no
depreciation. I suspect your new insurance company's policy does the same
thing.

It's actually only on parts you can't prove are not over 20 years old.  Then 
the parts reimbursement starts dropping off.  Labor is covered 100%Thanks, Danny

Boat insurance...reimbursement vs. depreciated coverage... 

I may be repeating myself here, but it bears repeating.  Check your boat 
coverage.  BoatIUS had reimbursement coverage before they switched to GEICO as 
their carrier last year.  Now it is depreciated value coverage.  Reimbursement 
coverage
 pays for replacing damages up to the agreed value.  Depreciated coverage drops 
to 20% over time to where most of our boats would only receive 20% of fixing 
damages!   I switched coverage when I learned of this and I still pay the same 
premium.

 
I bring this up because one of our brethren has been caught by this issue after 
a recent incident.  If your broker cannot find a reimbursement carrier, let me 
know.  I will provide the contact info of my guy.
