How to keep trac fo your boat!!!!

How to keep trac of your boat!!!!

I have been talking with Brad Schoenwald about different aspects of boating.....Schools, safety, insurance, and theft of our beloved toys..... With that being said the last point has been in everybody's face as of late it seems... The answer is GalTrac atracking device for a very, very nominal fee considering the huge investments we put forth to own and operate the boats we have come to love so much.... A good comparison would be when you spend 500k + on a boat and buy the cheapest POS trailer you can find to save money to transport it on.... Doesn't make sense does it????? So I am going to market these things with Cap't Safety to curb the loss of boats that will lead to hopefully curbing the rising insurance costs!!!!

These things are so cool after installation you go online and register everything (Brad can explain this better at this point in time as I am still coming up to speed) at which time you vessel goes on line and if anything happens with the movement of your boat you will be alerted as to that movement!!!! Then you can track the thing on your GPS asto where it is going!!! So again are you going to spend all that money and not invest a few pennis more for that added security for your boat or are you going to use the POS trailer excuse!!!!

It's your call PM me for details!!!!!

So this is all the response I get???? Damn thought you guys actually had a passion for your boats!!!!

Sean;

Are these things that you purchase and install yourself or have installed or are they installed by the dealer and even the owner doesn't really know where on the vessel they are located?

 

[Sean Stinson]

Anyway you would like it's a nominal fee to purchase then the install is an additional fee if the owner wishes not know the location that can be done as well!!!!!

Few pennies more.. LOL!

I think the big thing with these things are boat values (depreciation).

If you owe on your boat and it is insured right (agreed value); it disappears and you get a new boat.

If you paid cash for your boat; you should be insured right (agreed value) to cover it if it disappears.

Just saying- the saying "the best day in a boat owners life are the day they take delivery and the day they sell it" didn't come about for nothin".

I love my boat and don't want any thing to ever happen to it but I keep agreed value just in case. I think there should be huge insurance discounts (dare I say even made mandatory) for having one of these.

I don't dispute that fact but at this point it is what it is!!!!! In a perfect world discounts would be the icing on the cake!!!!

Sean I am also helping Brad by getting the info out to the scope members. I have one person getting two for his boats and one for his car.

 

[Sean Stinson]

Update..... We are currently working with underwriters to see if a discount on your premiums can be put in place for having one of these installed on your vessel or vehicle!!!! I will keep you posted as everything progresses

 

[BRAD SCHOENWALD]

We just completed a required install on a 33 Contender insured by Charter Lakes. They accepted the system and gave the owner a discount.

A stolen boat can be a nightmare for an owner. If you think it's like a homeowner claim where the adjuster cuts you a check while they're out there, you're sorely mistaken. Especially now with the economy down. If your boat is jacked, expect your life to be gone through with a fine-toothed comb. You will be treated like a suspect and probably like a criminal and you may wait months for your check.

Just talked to my insurance company and they will offer a discount when i get it installed, it will eventually pay for itself

All the more reason to have one of these units in place!!!!!

How about just adding a cell phone to your account for $9,95 a month, plug it in on your boat leave it on. There you have it!! Instant GPS tracking system.You can track your cell number and phone as long as the phone is on. PS: hide the phone.

Hey I figured it worked with my son when he went out. We tracked him through the cell phone But anything that can track your boat and keep it from starting and alerts you works for me. If the cell phone called me I know I am in deep sh** LOL. Sounds like a good item.

the cost of this unit and service is nothing compared to what the insurance company will screw you out of if you have a loss. Not to mention the jerking around you will get.
