Sarnia Ont .... and I gave them a value of 24k

I just received a very good quote from Jennifer at Hagerty on my 2004 '18.

I would urge anyone with a newer and/or faster Donzi to give her a call.

1800 762-2628 ext 8231.

Maybe Hagerty is ok with insuring 75mph and faster Donzi's provided they are US only and not Canada? If that is the case that's a great option to check out given they will already do stated value.

Greg - I think they are happy to quote both US and Canadian boats.

A few obvious caveats:

If you have good credit, a good driving record, a good boating record, a safe boating license/certificate, years of experience and an unmodified boat (I meet all these), your rate will be favorably impacted.

I represented that the 18 will be a 65 MPH boat. They will insure faster boats, but expect to pay accordingly (duh).

we are tweaking the coverage as I said, to reflect more standard( real world) performance specs of the donzi classics. We are also trying to get a baseline for value of the classics as well. We are working on it now with specific Haggerty staff that will be Donzi subject matter specialists .We should have something put together shortly.

I would love to use them. The only carrier that I could find to give me a quote was Progressive. The ownership of Progressive funds a lot of things that I am 100% against, so I hate spending money with them so they can strip away my rights.

I just got email from Carla from hagarty and gave her my info we will see.Funny in her email she said she deals with a few donzis and she knows that most over 50mlp so if you could send what you think your donzi will or could do.So I say lets start at 75 mlp and go up from there to be honest.

This is good feedback. I assumed that once you were openly disclosing speeds above 70mph the options for insurance would get a lot smaller. I did not realize that 75mph was actually the cutoff.

Greg, it's more of 4 things that they look at,
Size/speed/HP and the maxium HP the builder put into it when it left the factory, more of formula, my next door neighbor is a insurance broker. Any of the "stock" Donzi classics with stock power should be easily insured, it's when you throw more power in them account their small length it becomes a problem cause that makes them think they will run over 75 lol.

My mahogany 1972 Greavette is insured through Robertson & Robertson Yacht Insurance brokers out of Markham. The actual insurance is with CG&B (Northbridge General) Insurance Co. I met Andrew Robertson ( 905 752-8735) several years ago at the ACBS Gravenhurst boat show.

We have an agreed value of 50K, and I pay about $ 360.00 yr. When I upgraded my engine last year I showed them the costs and we adjusted the value accordingly and without fuss.

I have also spoken to Carla at Haggerty about my '72 Greavette and my '65 Donzi... She said they would be happy to quote on my classic boats. I'm not due till August.

It's interesting that I contacted CG&B for a quote on my 75 Ski Sporter. The quote they sent was about 200 higher than through Hagerty and they said that due to the age of the boat, they could not insure for an agreed value but only a depreciating value. Also, they were off loading the insurance to AVIVA, the same company Hagerty uses for AGREED VALUE insurance. No wonder most people consider Insurance Companies Thieves.
