 Houseboat insurance
I am having a hard time insuring my new houseboat.
Who are you using to insure a houseboat with out engines? Most insurance companies are calling it a floating home not a boat. I do not mind putting a outboard on it but they are still saying its a floating home not a boat being is a barge with a house built on it.

 Re: Houseboat insurance
I told then I was going to buy a outboard or two. They still are claiming its a floating home due to the construction of the house. I see many I these and I know some one is insuring them. I have 2 brokers working on it.

 Houseboat insurance
Wouldn't it have to be registered with the state as a motor vessel in order to insure it as a boat?
