My wife and I have been boat shopping for the last several years now. The one thing that has prevented us from pulling the trigger is getting a handle on the logistics.
We currently live in Denver but have a vacation home in the lower Florida Keys. Since, for the next several years, we will have limited time to divide between the house and the boat we would like to store the boat close and use it while in the Keys. This has the added benefit of letting us hone our boat handling skills.
My question concerns storage and insurance. I would like to find a yard somewhere between Marathon and Key West that can pull and store the boat on the hard. So my first query is for recommendations concerning yards. We have settled on something in the 40ft, 25,000 to 30,000 pound displacement range.
My second question is about insurance. I have received several quotes with wide ranging results. I understand that I am looking to insure the boat in, from an insurance standpoint, a bad location. What I need help with and advice on is how to mitigate the cost as much as possible.
Any advice or recommendations concerning yards, insurance companies, and insurance brokers/agents would be greatly appreciated.
