Insurance for 1965 33' steel hull Roamer?

There's been a good deal of discussion about insurance premiums going up and reluctance to insure older boats. Hit the SEARCH feature above and type in Roamer or Chris Craft and PM some of the owners there to see who they insure with and what hoops they've had to go through. Off the top of my head I'd also suggest you PM Pascal. He has an older boat although not a Roamer. Maybe he could give you some leads. Good luck, and welcome to YF.

I'd recommend a top marine insurance broker and let them do the work for you. They'll knot all the intricacies and the wills and wonts of individual insurers. Now, you didn't indicate a total picture of the boat's current condition. If it's not usable at the moment, that definitely complicates matters.

I see you’re up on Superior... although different generation of boat we’ve had good luck with Charter Lakes (Gallagher) on the Great Lakes as far as brokers go.

Insurance for metal boats is always problematic.
Don't have a very good answer for you, other than take faith in the power of STEEL. That and try not to hit anything. Afterwhich (and take photoes) your lawyer should well be able to prove the appropriate culpability.
Roamers rule.

Your duty.

I failed to mention exactly how to obtain marine insurance on metal boats:
AUDIO-GAUGE test:

It simply measures the thickness of the hull thoughout.
That is your first step.
Expensive.

Josie, did you have any luck with insurance?
Dave at siskiwitt bay marine told me about getting a rider on my home owners insurance for liability insurance, and I did no issues!
I have a 1965 33' Roamer Riviera heading to corny next week for haul out.
