>From past experience getting an agent to find out how to insure kayaks
can
be a learning experience for the agent.  I've had 3 different agents
figure out
how to insure a sea kayak.  None of them was able to get an answer in
under
a week.  

I'm currently paying $50 per insured boat for full replacement
coverage,
in Massachusetts.  As part of insuring the boats the insurance company
requested
the serial numbers of the boats.  I have not needed to test the
coverage.
