My agent just called me to say that Ohio Causualty will NOT sell me any insurance on my 01 Supra launch, because they only insure boats up to 230 HP . I live In New Jersey anyone on the board that can help or point me somewhere??

I can't imagine what a guy with a Skater does in this State

I have my 01 Sunsport covered by Prudential in PA, rates are a bit higher due to horse power

You might call Overtons. They advertise ski boat insurance in their equipment catalog.

I called Overton's to check on insurance, of course the company is "Progressive". They quoted me $638 a year!!! I then called my bank/insurance/broker ( USAA 1-800-531-8080) and got insurance for $168 a year. There are better companies out there. You can try USAA but, I believe you have to be a member of the Armed Forces. Hopefully this info can help.

I am insured through One Beacon Insurance. They are great, coverage is complete, they had a billing plan I liked, they cover claims quickly with no problems and their prices are very reasonable. (800) 344-7488. Good Luck.

Indmar MPI 330hp

Boater's Insurance Agency here. State Farm was way too high!

Here is their number: 1-800-344-7488 Ask for Richard Forbes.

They will not insure boats older than 10 years.

wow, I pay 550 per year for my 01 sunsport but I'm trying the 800 number. Of course state farm did pay me full price for my mastercraft that sunk and let me keep the boat, they didnt even come look at it . so I have a soft spot in my heart for state farm. However I now insure the mastercraft (refurbished) and the new supra. But I will check prices.

Yes, I also actually have Boaters, now called 1 Beacon, via Richard Forbes. Note that the posts above show same phone numbers....due to name change.

try SKI SAFE. They specialize in our kind of boat & realize just because we have 310 Hp, it doesn't traslate into extreme speed. My coverage on a '95 TS6m is only $300, including membership in USA Water Ski. Ph 800 225 6560. I can't say anything about claims service - never needed it. (Knock on wood).
