Boat Insurance - Boat Insurance Quote

Once you consider buying your boat, you may also want to think about getting insurance
on that boat.  Some of the new boats on the market can cost $30,000 and higher, so it is
important to get boat insurance in case anything goes wrong.  

There are many things that you might want to consider when you are looking to get a boat
insurance quote.  There are many insurance companies that will cover your boat,
however, there are some companies that have some options that others don't have.

You can get policies that cater to yacht owners, personal watercraft owners and even
fishermen.  There are other policies as well as many different add-on coverages that you
should check when comparing quotes.  
Make sure you know the difference between Agreed Value Coverage versus Actual
Value Coverage
.  Agreed value coverage is when you and your insurance provider agree
on the value of your boat.  Lets say you and your insurance provider agree that your boat
is worth $20,000 and something bad happens to your boat a few years down the road.  
You will receive $20,000 to buy a new boat under the agreed value coverage, but your
monthly payment will be higher.  With actual value coverage, you pay less per month for
your insurance, but your insurance provider will only pay the depreciated value of your
boat if something bad should happen.  In this case, your insurance costs less per month,
but 3 or 4 years down the road, you might only get $10,000 to $15,000 towards a new
boat instead of the $20,000 that it would take to buy a new boat.

Overall, make sure to shop around.  You want to find the best deal for your coverage.  
Don't just look at the price of the quote; look at the coverage that comes with it.
