    I got the same letter from the same company and never had a claim. You might try Bradley Insurance Group out of south Florida.

    They dumped me last year to. No claims ever. Plus my boat is 39 years old 1981. Survey or not , they did not want to insure a boat over twenty years old...
    I got mine with StateFarm. No survey needed if your boat value is under $50k, which mine is ..$49k.
    But if your over $50k , as most of you are they will want a current survey.

    You will most likely have to get a current survey done to get insurance. sorry to say.
