[Rhodes22-list] Financing

[Jim Connolly]

You need to be military or ex-military (I'm ex-Navy) for the insurance side
of USAA.

They'll loan money to anyone.

The survey convinced them of the value to insure (and their bank side that
it was worth loaning the $)

Dave & Jim,

I've had USAA for about 30 years.  I think you still need to be military or
retired military to use them, but they may have changed their requirements.
They have great rates but I've been unimpressed with their service lately.

A year ago BoatUS was about twice as much as anyone else that quoted me.
Apparently they suffered a lot of hurricane claims.  USAA wouldn't insure my
1986 boat beyond $8K.  After much whining and threats, they're now insuring
her for purchase price, which includes the recycling and a boatload of
extras.

Good luck!

Jim,
 
I thought I remembered that USAA wouldn't insure a boat more than 10yrs
old, 
and their agent had no appreciation of refurbished vice used.  You had
no 
problem getting your boat insured with them?
 
Any sense as to how USAA insurance stacks up against BoatUS?
