    Hey Craig,

    I have all of our property and vehicle insurance(except my street rod) with Co-operators. I approached them about coverage on my 22C(454-385 HP) but they weren't interested. My Co-operators agent then set me up with Lloyds of London. I think the premium is about $600-$700/ year for standard coverage. The company that covers my street rod wanted approx. $1000.

    Hagarty had a booth at the Antique Boat Show in Gravenhurst last year but they won't underwrite a Donzi.

    Good Luck

    Dave

    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.

    Carla at Haggerty was happy to insure my '67 Ski Sporter and gave me a great price.

    My sense is they would quote a newer, faster boat but the quote would reflect the performance.

    I'll give her first shot on my '04 18 in a few weeks and will report back .

    The Lake George Donzi Classic Club has been working with Carla and Haggerty to offer insurance to the Donzi Classic owners . We are tweaking the offerings to meet most classics. We have gotten some feedback and Haggerty is willing to work with us, If anyone contacts them make sure to tell them you're a LGDCC for the best possible pricing.

    to get a quote use the URL on our website www.lgdonziclassic.com

    it is down towards the bottom of our main page a red 22 with the Haggerty logo

    How are they reacting to boats that can do 70 and above and state such?

    My 75 Ski Sporter is insured through Hagerty in Ontario I think they offload to AVIVA. My other insurance is through AVIVA but they want twice the price of Hagerty Go figure

    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.

    I asked for a quote for my 16 after it was posted the the Lake George Classic group had been working with Carla at Haggerty. She told me they couldn't quote it because it ran over 60. She said they were looking at coverage for the higher performance boats, but at the time their coverage was for the classics.

    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 use Hagerty for all three Donzis with a stated value for the boats. Carla is great, and the price is quite reasonable. My boats are relatively mild in HP compared to what you are spec-ing though.

    I think your HP rating and related speed #s will really narrow down affordable options in Ontario. High HP scares insurance companies.
