thanks.. at this point Im either going to have to take the risk or sell it and buy something that I can insure..

You and Mike Schmidt (22' Daytona w/ twin drags) have next to impossible boats to insure.
Good Luck.

There must be a way to get it insured.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, sell it and buy something else.
Try calling Stoker and see who they use.
Your boat is so fricken awesome, there has to be a way!!
:cool:

I am unsure about this, but would it make it easier to insure if you called it a race boat? I am sure it would be expensive, but you probably could find insurance.

that is a good question.. I guess if they didnt post the numbers on these boats.. then we wouldnt have anything to worry about..
Im pretty sure under 25' and less then 60-70.. but not sure.. My boat wouldnt even do that when it was stock.. so there it is there..lol.. I talked to Badblown (he called me fromt he river.. bastard).. I think he has an idea for me.. I may have to go up to somthing larger then 25' if I want to go over 100.. WE'll see... thanks for all the info:D

You will find a solution. There always is one. It will no doubt just cost more $$$$$. Call Stoker or other agents.... I know you love that boat, don't sell it!!!

CS19 has his Daytona insured through somebody. Get a hold of him for the info. I'm thinking if they will insure his boat they will insure yours too.;)

Not as easy as you think. What if your 21' Bayliner has a big block 454 in it?

Try AN-PAC insurance, I called them for a quote on a 39' Aronow cat today that has twin 800 SC's and it came in at 2K a year, thats less then my car insurance.
