Insurance - my usual rant:
Paying the premium does not usually equal getting the coverage that you think you have. So at least get the complete policy statement and look through it. Keep all your pictures, surveys, any other receipts or statements bearing on the quality and condition of your boat and belongings, and how they were maintained and looked after. Things that bear on your coverage: Lifting the boat; in transit; on the hard; type of location and property it's on; duration out of water; presence of people around the boat, fences, security of property; your own personal property; boat electronics; other removeable boat gear (sails, dingy, cushions, tools); what's stored on the boat (flamable chemicals); who put the boat on the hard, how; who does work on the boat; season (hurricanes); normal wear & tear (airborne sludge from nearby construction); various exclusions, acts of gawd, etc. Finally, (somehow I supect I'm preaching to the choir here, Skip... g) you're the captain and have all the responsibility. Don't take _anybody's_ unquestioned or unvarified word on _anything_ that worries you. Eg. placement of supports, nearness of neighboring boats (to fall on you), locked (?) storage lockers, etc. Also, is the boat near any heavy traffic (main gate, travel-lifts, parking, incoming flat beds, etc) which would increase the risk of fender-benders.
