The estimate from boat dealership was over $3,000 - as soon as the boat was ready - the agent went and hand delivered the check and I was able to pick the boat up the day it was finished. A $500 deductable is much more managble for me than $3000 - especially when my policy is only around a couple hundred bucks a year. My rates didn't go up.

My local agent is out of Jamestown - I have had them for auto since I turned 16, but was living in Bowling Green when this happened so a Bowling Green agent dealt with everything.
Maybe different now but years ago me and my dad had Progressive and let's put it this way....It was a pleasant experience until something happened then they were the most difficult company I have ever dealt with for insurance. I doubt they will ever get my business again. On the other hand, I have all my insurance now with Farm Bureau. I have never had any clains on my boat but I have had a couple on some vehicles and they have been very easy to deal with, very fast to respond and very fast to pay as well. I am very pleased!
