Does anyone have a suggestion for a good insurance company to insure my 17' CC while I restore it?

Should be low cost and easy to work with IF I should ever need to use it!

Thanks

You might try Hagerty.
There certainly is this kind of insurance. It increases as the value of the boat increases.

If it's not in the water they (Hagerty) will offer a "Port Risk" policy, If you are restoring while floating, no good.

Allstate insures SARAH - I'm sure because we have our home and auto policies with them.

They initially required a survey for valuation purposes.

Going on six years of the project (three+ since we found someone to insure us). When I think about it, I phone my local Allstate agent and up the value by 5-10k with a phone call. They've never said anything but, "No problem."

Thanks,

I will give them a shout.
I tried using a standard insurance company yo insure my classic car (1959 Edsel) and found the prices outrageous, so I went with a speciality insurance company (JC Taylor) and they were great. I will try Hagerty.

FYI - the boat is "dry-docked" in my garage and will probably be there for a few years, while I restore her.:D

For a 17' boat you might want to double check about whether the boat is covered by your standard home owner's or tenant's insurance policy. I know my policy covers "small boats" but I do not remember exactly how they define small boats...

The homeowners route would probably be the best and cheapest. Hagerty usually wants a survey in "excellent" condition. They do most of their business these days with classic cars.

The smallest category of boats, Class A, tops off at 16', thus a 17' boat is a Class 1 vessel.
