    Dumping Boat US any advice?

    oat US has raised my rates almost every year. This year it went up $148 . I was told it was because of the area I live in.

    Just looking for any advise on companies you use with good service?

    thanks!

    I use my Home Insurance Co for everything owned.. No Plug for them, But never had any issues either, State Farm and agreed Value on the Bass Boat & Equipment.. Main thing is the hospital and Liability/Death etc added in with Boat replace value.. Like to keep any problems covered. besides have just a $100.00 Deductible on the boat

    I am also dumping Boat US. They switched their underwriting to GEICO. First I heard about it is when I received notice from GEICO about my 6 payment plan. I always pay the full premium. I like GEICO but for some reason their boat department is dysfunctional. I used them for a couple years and with two boats. They never once listed the boat model correctly and never once got my address correct. They listed all kinds of weird stufff for my addresss and I have no idea where they were getting it. It was weird and definitely not acceptable.

    Anyone in particular I should be speaking to at Worlwide? Just got the same notification from GEICO and this is the second year in a row that they want to raise my premium. At this rate I'm looking at a $200 increase on a yearly basis, when I spoke to the agent she said she could adjust my payment by "altering" my coverage as if paying more for less coverage is somehow beneficial for me. I'm tired of dealing with insurance companies, home, auto, boat, they are all a scam.
