    Insurance Providers?

    Hey guys, I currently have my boat insurance thru Markel and have never made a claim and it just keeps going up.. Thinking of trying somewhere new. Anyone have any positive input on other companies to try?? Thanks, Pete W

    My father and I use Progressive, and always have. Rates are good, don't climb like crazy, and they were great the one time we went through them. Maybe just lucky that the woman that flipped the Tracker when she rear-ended me also had progressive, but they were out to inspect the boat and had a check cut in a week's time.

    I have Foremost here in Mass and I've used Travelers in the past. I go through a local agent.

    I had progressive on my skeeter for 15 years. 2 claims, with very very few increases. Great experiences both times and checks cut within 2 weeks. They are very quick to respond and complete. 2 thumbs up...

    I have progressive but have never made a claim.
    The payments have pretty much stayed the same with full replacement value.

    I cancelled Markel last year. They went up big time so I called as a new client and they gave me a nice low rate. Goodbye. Nothing but a money grab. Call back as a new client and see what they give you as a new rate and tell them you'll take it. when they set you up tell them you want to cancel your old policy...
