    I purchased a marine policy for my manufactured hovercraft from IWSF/WSS in 2004. In July 2005, the vessel caught fire while underway, yet IWSF has refused to cover my claim.

    Philip, please advise the reason IWSF/WSS refused to cover your claim, and have you done anything with this company about this. We to are having problems with this company. Thank you

    IWSF is a great company. Not only does is it 30% cheaper. If you read the policy and follow all their guidelines there is no reason why they shouldnt pay. I had a claim and followed everything and they paid my claim in less then 30 days.

    It would have been nice if they would ever have SENT me a copy of the policy, either before the accident or upon numerous requests thereafter until their “arbitrator” made a conclusory “ruling” against me. If your car overheats and catches fire, don’t you consider that a comprehensive claim rather than something to go to the dealer and have adjusted under the new car warranty? My hovercraft caught fire due to a manufacturing defect, but they said, “go back to the manufacturer.” Again, I never got a policy, and I submit that result was not within my reasonable contemplation as an insured. I’d be interested in knowing the nature of your claim.

    Bottom line: a legitimate company does not stand behind ridiculous quasi-legal therories to find a way to operate without a license. It complies with state law.

    Have 90 fountain hit sub object did 26k damage to drives and hull, mostly drives, Submtted claim. Rep is suggusting that they are only going to cover 10% of policy total 50k. 5k is not going to pay for 1 bravo drive let alone 2 and a transom assm. Any recourse? suggestions? Rep said he would take it back to committy but I’m not real confident that they are going to make good with this policy loophole.

    IWSF never sent me a copy of the policy. They refused my claim after my boat was sunk during Hurricane Ike. They claimed I should have moved my boat, even though I stated I did not have a trailer when I got the coverage. I filed a compliant with the Texas Department of Insurance. It was then that I discovered the company did not have a licence to do business in Texas.
