Whew! I bet you are happy. I would still RUN to another company so that you never have to go through that carp again.

After i talked to bob he made some phone calls and progressive had a change of heart also

I am very happy, and I cancelled the policy later the same day.

Who is Bob and what insurance co does he work for?

I don't have boat insurance yet but I do have progressive for my SUV. I won't be getting insurance through them that is for sure!

Bennie, if I am not mistaken, Bob sells Progressive, right?

Progressive is terrible. The idiot adjuster can't or won't send a fax. They are lowballing the estimate and the value of my boat. The guy who hit my boat while it was parked in front of my girlfriend's house and drove off has Progressive. This happened May 15th. My boat is still sitting waiting to be fixed.

Bobby, Sorry for the late response. I am running around the UK country side with my lovely wife and Internet is not easy to get here. Unless I want to pay 15 pounds for a 24 hour period.. Luckily we are in a Hotel with free internet. We all like free stuff.....lol

Bob is an Underwriter. He can sell many different ones...My Insurance through Bob is with Progressive. I am very confident that with Bob as my agent, I will not have any problems should I have to make a claim.

I thought he did. Have a great time my friend! Load up on the free stuff. You know I like FREE!

You need to call your agent and let him go to battle for you. A good agent can work miracles! Progressive is the best boat insurance company hands down!

i had progressive when i had my 20' champion and i cracked my transom..anyways long story short they sent the guy out to where my boat was at (tinies fiberglass) in longview to look at it and he did the "moister test" he says, "and i quote" ( the reason your transom is cracked is du to moister) he took the stupid test in the RAIN...are u kidding me??? needless to say after months of fighting they finally paid with my lawyers help but after that i droped them and went with foremost...no problems what so ever and even had 2 claims so far...one for some small holes in the bottom of my boat and one for theft..im happy with them

That's a shame you had to fight for what you paid for which is insurance. Glad you got it resolved though.

Well, I have to agree that it more than likely comes down to the agent and how much they want to go to bat for someone. With all of the negative posts about Progressive, I really don't know what to think about that. I have had Progressive on all of my vehicles and boats dating back to before 1996. Never not once have I had any problems with them in getting claims taken care of. There have been high dollar claims, $10K +, and small claims of only a couple of grand.

Progressive raised my rates for three years after the big claim but the rate went right back to where it was when I first signed the policy after that three year time frame. With my current boat, the lower unit has already been replaced at a cost right at $7K. The claim was paid quickly and no rate increase thus far. The policy has renewed as well.

As for some of the issues being spoken of, I hope you guys are able to get your boats repaired and any issues resolved.
