Got an offer to haul new boats from a factory near me that aren't over size and would fit on my 48' flat. Broker says 100k cargo insurance is fine but I don't see how when new boats can be over $150k new each. What about boat check stations, do new boats need to stop at those? Anything else I should know about hauling new boats? It seems like a particularly risky commodity to haul.
Anyone haul boats?

Yes u need to stop at boat check stations. Dont know anything about them other then that. Raise your cargo insurance isnt gonna cost much

Thanks, I think I'll give my insurance company a call Monday and get a quote from them for increased cargo insurance and boats specifically.CAXPT, Another Canadian driver, Blue jeans and 2 others Thank this.

I increased mine from 100k to 250k which is the max with progressive and it only cost me another 300 bucks with 6 months left on my policyOLDSKOOLERnWV, Speed_Drums, CAXPT and 5 others Thank this.

It depends what boats you're hauling regarding cargo insurance. Sea Doo switch is a boat, and they may top out at $30,000 each, so that would be under $100,000 cargo

Thanks. I believe these are more in the $100k+ range each though.Bean Jr., CAXPT, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this.

Good info. I'm also with progressive, and one broker i deal with has 250k requirements on certain loads.
Those loads are paying about 3-400 more than their loads requiring 100k.OLDSKOOLERnWV, Bean Jr., CAXPT and 4 others Thank this. -
Go for it! I triedto go higher then that but progressive only go up to 250k apparently..CAXPT, Another Canadian driver, BennysPennys and 1 other person Thank this.

I was pricing a new Mastercraft wake boat and I couldn’t get out of there quick enough. They were definitely proud of it.CAXPT, Another Canadian driver, Rubber duck kw and 1 other person Thank this.

How come I've never seen boats on a flatbed? Normally its either Step, RGN, or special boat trailer....
