Good Broker needed

[baffled]

I have just phoned GJW for a quote on my soon to be owned Four Winns.

They quoted me £465.72 fully comprehensive on the proviso I have an "experienced" person on board for a full season. I have bought the boat to get away from people not have them forced upon me.

Any suggestions out there?

Tell 'em to sod off, get some training and phone around.

Probably a good idea regardless, but if you do a RYA recognised course most insurers will offer a discount (10-20% usually). I would suggest a Power Boat Level 2, as this will also entitle you to your ICC should you venture abroad.

As for brokers, I have just renewed with Bishop Skinner (0207 566 5800). They offer 15% discount for PBL2 and a further 10% for RYA membership (about £30.00 to join, and well worth it) - and they were the keenest for me by a country mile. The final price was £491.00, the highest quote I got was £986.00, so it pays to shop around.

Navigators and General are also highly regarded.

Ive done Powerboat 2 surely experience enough !

Any 6ft brunettes based near anglesey you know of need a seasons free boating.

Sorted - Bishop and skinner think PB 2 is sufficient for insurance purposes.

£442 (£250 excess) yipee

Cancel the brunette

Try Mardon Insurance, always been good for me, even when i started from scratch, and then when i did the PB2, they gave me a discount, PB2 would be classed as experience i think.

Good luck,

Al.
