Take what your insurance agent says with a grain of salt.  Ask them to 
show you where in your insurance policy it talks about kayak/boat 
coverage and read it for yourself.  It does not matter what they tell 
you that counts rather what is documented in your insurance policy when 
it comes time for you to make a claim.
