I am NOT an insurance agent but recommend calling your insurance agent for
the concerns you have

A kevlar boat  ~$2500. Accessories: pfd ~$80,  graphite paddle ~$250, skirt
~$60, compass, whistle, paddle float, pump, sponge, etc. ~$150, decent roof
rack ~$200 (not to mention wet-suit, dry-suit, booties, dry bags, spare
paddle, etc.., etc..) Multiply that all by 2 and there is some real $ at
risk for my wife and me.  (the prices are estimates!!!!)

I have an annual premium of ~$28/boat for value of boat ($2500), $500
equipment, $25,000 liability with a $50 deductible. .

It makes me sleep better to know that I have coverage for someone taking
some or all of it, losing it in a storm or having it all blow off the roof
of my car at 75mph and landing in the car behind me (so much to worry
about). I am certainly relieved that I don't have a Ford Explorer to roll
over on my boats!

I have not made a claim and have no experience in what it will take to get
reimbursed if I made a claim and hope I don't have to.

BTW my insurance is with Allstate
