GL: Florida insurance

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

USAA is great for auto and home, but I strongly suspect
that they are as out of touch for boat insurance as they are for motorcycle
insurance!  I insure my motorcycles
with Drive/Progressive with identical coverage as I had
with USAA for about 60% less!!  It might also be worth
investigating GEICO.
