It may affect presently insured boaters also. Wait till renewal time.
Look at the increases in home and apartment insurance rates after Katrina.
Reading this morning that some $500k homes in New Orleans will go to $10k
a year in insurance. 400-500% increase in apartment building insurance
rates. Why should the people / government pay for peoples choice to build
in flood plains, etc. Lots of the river flood plains are now
non-insurable for federal flood insurance. Build on a beach and then cry
when the ocean takes your house, and figure that the rest of us will pay
to rebuild it. Bzzzt. wrong.

The guy that runs the little convenience store here at Kingman has a condo
in Stuwart, FL where he and his wife winter. He told me this morning that
the insurance on his condo just went up by $2k/yr.
