Airboats

Hi, I recently got a phone call from an insured who is buying an airboat in FL and bringing it back to IL to have for private, individual use. I have contacted all of my companies, including some brokerages and no one has a market for these type of boats. This one has a 4 cyl airplane engine in it, which appears to be standard. If anyone knows of a market, I sure would appreciate it. I have tried the following companies:
Travelers, Progressive, Foremost, American Modern, Ski Safe, United Marine Underwriters, K & K, United Marine Underwriters, and several other brokerages that they referred me to.

Are you sure Travelers does not have a market. Man they have a great boat market big and small. Did you try West Marine ? Call them and they may refer..

Yes, I tried Travelers, they don't have a market for them (in Illinois at least) I talked to one of the head underwriters.
I have never heard of the other company, I have called around to everyone, and can't find a market. Where are you located?
