GL: Florida insurance

[Bob McLeran]

I left USAA for boat insurance after 10 years because they're obviously 
geared to smaller or trailerable boats and don't understand the bigger 
boat market. They don't write their own boat insurance, and the 
representatives don't seem to have much experience with any boat. To top 
it off, their rates were higher than others, and their coverage no 
better. They won't give discounts for boats out of Florida for the 
hurricane season. OTOH, their coverage is "everywhere" - another 
indication to me that they aren't very knowledgeable when it comes to 
boat insurance.

As a loyal USAA member for over 40 years, I wouldn't recommend them for 
boat insurance for anything bigger than perhaps 25 feet with an I/O or 
outboard and trailer!
