I can't think of any of my friends that have ever had boat insurance either, unless their boat was financed. Then it was because the finace comapny required it. An trust me, I grew up on an island where everybody had boats. Barry No problem if you want to risk losing your house, etc. Maybe that's just one of the joys of living in Florida. You won't lose your house or your 401K. It's all protected. I guess that's why OJ lives here now. Maybe it also helps that I feel competent enough to use my boat without running into anybody. The only insurance claim I've ever had was when a sailboat took out the bow pulpit on my 44' Whiticar. My boat was docked at the time. His insurance paid for it. (That was my only boat that was insured) With the 30+ years of insurance I've saved I bet I could buy a real nice boat. But, feel free to insure your's. I'm not knocking you. I just find it interesting that there is so much interest in insurance by people that mostly live up North and away from the water. Whereas, here in South Florida, most people that have small boats (25' or less) don't even think about boat insurance. I should mention that a goodly percentage of drivers on our highways don't think about insurance either. That's another story... Barry When I lived full-time in North Florida, I was astonished by the high percentage of cars that were on the roads without license plates. You're right about the lack of insurance, too. That's one of the reasons why Florida car insurance is so expensive, to make up for the losses not paid for by irresponsible drivers without insurance. Or plates, eh? -- * * * email sent to will *never* get to me. |
