Boat Insurance, etc.

DoftheMattysort · 09-27-2004, 04:10 PM

I'm looking for some comments and suggestions.

I just bought my first boat, it is a 1980 Citation 185 with a 190 horse 4.3 Merc Alpha LX. (Yes, a real beauty.)

I got it for the low, low price of nothing and figure it would be fun to whip around in and learn about boating before I jumped into something more serious.

Anywho, I am wondering if anyone knows about insurance, is something this old even worth getting insured? If it is, how much should I expect to pay? I have no boating experience and am looking for the least expensive way around this, I know the boat is only worth like $1500 so I couldn't justify spending $1000/season to insure it. Also, does anybody have any other advice about starting out in boating that could help me? Thanks in advance for your help.
