While nobody else "forces" people to insure their boats, my impression is
that most boats are insured whether or not purchased on credit.
If you have assets other than your boat, and hopefully you do, going
without insurance is extremely unwise. One serious liability or
environmental claim could force you into bankruptcy. If nothing else,
the insurance company will defend the claim with seriously competent
lawyers, at their expense.
That's a slightly different issue. What people seem to have trouble
grasping
is that insurance is for risks you can't afford to assume yourself. You
pay
someone else to take on those risks. For those you can afford, you carry
them yourself and save the money you'd otherwise pay an insurer.
Bingo!
