Re: [OMC-Boats] bmw tour and bopat insurance

Mine is insured in Canada as a rider on my homeowner's.  I think its ~$100/year for ~$3k value + high liability, but that was far less than the near $300 I was paying in MI before registering it in ONT.  I wouldn't even think of operating without insureance -- just too much potential for problems.  If any of you followed the trial of Bismark Dinius in CA (where a sailboat operato r was charged when someone was killed because a speedb oat slammed into them) , you know exactly what I'm talking about.

On museums, if any of you ever make it to Sweden, there's a modest private museum in the town of Koping (pronounced "Shirping") that is quite a little gem of automotive and boating history.  Most of the material is European with a particular emphasis on Volvo, but it is well worth the stop.  My other favorite is the floating Maritime Museum in San Diego.  For autos and trains, its hard to top the Henry Ford Museum (though t he Automotive Heritage Center near Jaguar-Land Rover in Gayden, UK comes close) , but they don't have much on boating.

Check out the Progressive web site for a quote.  Since I've discovered that you can insure old boats for Agreed Value. Surprisingly, it doesn't cost much more to add Comprehensive and Collision, onto a basic liability package.

I've always wanted good liability coverage, as I am frequently doing watersports with others on my boat.

I carried liability on my Bayliner for the 7 years I had it.  It ran about $90 a year with Statefarm.  Given my experiences on the lake I sometimes question if even that was necessary.  I never got close enough to other boats or property to worry about inflicting damage.  Anyway, I've not insured the Evinrude yet as I've barely had it in the water.

Lee,
 
I don't currently carry any insurance on my boat...I had inquired a few years ago with my old OMC boat and was discouraged by my agent...said it wasn't worth enough to pay the insurance on.

I've always enjoyed taking plant tours.  I did the Ford Rouge Tour in 2007 and have visited many other plants in Canada and the UK.

Re-powering with OMC gear is still the best option in my opinion, especially for our boats.

On another topic, have any of you insured your boats?  I've been thinking of switching from State Farm to Progressive.

I took my son to the BMW plant in Greer SC for a tour. First off it is a first class operation there - I do not drive a BMW cause they don't tow boats. My son has one and loves it. They have a minimuseum there on the floor with the usual lineage of cars and racers but what caught my eye was the BMW stern drive that went into production years ago. A massive beauty - I did not think to get the specs - I remember something like 130 HP and they made a couple thousand hoping to penetrate into the US market. I searched ebay and there is nothing like parts or units. It would fit my Rogue but looks heavy and maybe underpowered. The plant is not union and they have been there 15 years and are expanding and have some pretty good stats. Maybe the future is not so bad.
Well we are in the dead of winter - too cold to boat or even work on the boat unless you are fortunate to have an indoor shop with heat. Won't be long till boating season is back. Happy New Year to all. TK _______________________________________________
