Insurance on a 25 Daytona

[Boat 405]

I've tried every vendor on this page. Not one has contacted me back. Any ideas? Is the boat not insurable?

2001 25' Daytona. 800 hp.

 

[Racer56]

Andy Holthe (310) 480-4285

 

[fishing fool]

Andy is the guy

 

[Motoxxxloak]

I tried Andy but he couldn't write me cause of my jacked up record. I ended up going with Brad Stern

 

[Dirtbag]

call geico....they are getting into the boat insurance hot and heavy. Advertising in mags now.

I got the best quote through them....I have not had any claims yet to tell you how the service is tho

 

[Boat 405]

Cool. Thanks guys. I'll call him

Here is how my insurance conversations go...

Agent - "yes we can insure you. What make and model boat?"

Me - "That's great news! It's a 21' Daytona."

Agent - "okay great, how much horsepower?"

Me - "approximately 1,100 ma'am"

Agent - (phone goes quiet)

Me - "Hello, anybody there Hello...hello...hello."

To be clear.. You are saying you called Eric Lopez, Brad Stern, and Andy Holthe and not one of them called you back? (If that's true, I'll be calling all three of them today.. but I'm having a hard time believing that?)

All three of the agents on here can insure that no problem.

Ya, I'm going to call them.

On tapatalk you can't see the banners/sponsors and I always forget there's a whole different view of the boards when on a desktop.

Geico won't insure that boat. They are a no go at over 55 MPH.


I think we talked about this on another thread recently......

you would be incorrect sir. My boat goes over 55.

File a claim and see what happens..............

Be very careful.
Writing it and actually covering it seem to be 2 different things.

 

[25Elmn8r]

Hope that's true now. Back in the day we had State Farm and they wrote our insurance no problem. 2 months later we got a cancellation notice once it got to the "right" department. Hopefully things have changed.

 

[Cole Trickle]

you would be incorrect sir. My boat goes over 55.

Everything I can find on geico states boats up to 55mph like joe stated.

I would review the application and make sure it states that the boat has 600hp and runs 85 mph.

I would also call and sleek to a rep and verify that your 85 mph boat is insured correctly and covered.

85% of insurance agents don't know dick about boats and are looking for a sale that may or may not be covered when you actually need them.

This.

Few years back Deb was all proud about getting the Miller covered.
600 HP, OTH, 80 MPH.

I knew damn well that it wasn't covered and a 10 minute conversation with a supervisor confirmed this.
Didn't stop them from collecting a month of premiums for it.

There is a directory stickied at the top.

Might want to double check that policy dirtbag. In the event of an actual accident you aren't covered.

Andy is the man he took care of me and it was easy

I clicked on the links from your website and filled out 2-3 different forms. With no response

Maybe you made a typo and put 1800hp :skull

Still wouldn't matter. lol. They can insure it!

 

[Bpracing1127]

I use Eric Lopez at Allstate and he got back to me within hours. Something is up. Have you tried calling them

 

[Bigbore500r]

Absolutely.

 

[Bigbore500r]

They may not be a sponsor here (or maybe they are?????) - But Wozencraft insurance will get you done today. Call Tanah or Devin over there at (714) 263-2626. I've been with them for 7 years. They sponsor DS card stops, Devin is a boater himself, and they always give me a cold beer at the boat show and DS street fair :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Give Andy a call and I can guarantee if he doesn't answer you'll get a call back within 10-15 (unless he's on PTO lol)

 

[She's Mine]

Try Nick Rose, he gave me the best rate even over some of the people on here. 661-210-9023

I've seen this posted here before, but can't find any reference to it anywhere in my policy. Just went through all 15 pages of it, and nowhere does it specify an exclusion for speed capability. Front page clearly shows make model and horsepower...

The image posted referencing the MPH limit, is from a 3rd party company that sells GEICO insurance. The 55MPH isn't mentioned anywhere on the GEICO marine site at all. [emoji848]

I'd call them.

Just talked to underwriting... I'm covered. He went into detail... but basically they're selective on which boats they write based on hull and HP.

boat is also insured for over $150k

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

:thumbsup

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

I will say it once and not say it again. Insurance is NOT one of those things you want to pinch penny's on. You get what you pay for!!!

I will gladly pay more $$$$ for a policy that is written correctly by someone with years of marine experience, then some headset jocky in a call center at GEICO............

I'm gonna give him a try once my policy is up. Wonder if I can get a better deal since I own his old Howard [emoji848][emoji13]haha

 

[Sdsrfr]

Call Melissa Oshiro, she works with Erik Lopez at Allstate (714) 996-8262 she always take care of my stuff. I have a 2001 25ft Daytona and a 23 foot Edge insured with them.

X2...that's who I dealt with to insure my Nordic. Was very easy to work with and very responsive to calls and emails...

Great customer service and just flat out awesome people to deal with! Pretty sure they were a sponsor but things went south on here

No bad blood kinda deal I think.... one time I asked how come they don't have anymore advertisements on RDP and was told it was do to a business decision that they didn't make. I left it at that lol

My 25 Daytona is under Allstate 480-443-0358

They wouldn't do it because of the drive engine combo. 800 hp and xr drive seems to be the catch

 

[robby dmax]

Allstate has mine covered!

 

[Eggbeatn ur Ass]

I went thru Wozencraft/formost for my DCB Mach 26 runs 100mph on its best day, whippled 750hp 502, Imco SC drive $1100 a year.

What power. What drive?
