REFLECTOR:Builder's Insurance

[Peter Wetmore]

Oh boy, this is not good news.  I had a lot of trouble with Kevin Gruys at
Aircraft and Marine Insurance.  The problem wsn't in getting a quote, it was
getting the insurance started.  I had to follow up with him 4-5 times before
we got things squared away.  He didn't deposit my check for over a month.  I
had to follow up with him to get it deposited (I'm not used to people having
so much money that they don't deposit payments).  I also had to follow up to
get my copy of the policy - that took another 3 phone calls and multiple
emails.  Through it all he kept assuring me I had coverage but I was never
sure.......

I was planning on trying Pam this year but now I'm not so sure.  Thanks for
the heads up.
