My opinion is that it is a mistake not to have fuel spill coverage. A
marine insurance underwriter will know exactly what it is and it will be
included ... usually around 500K worth.

If your boat sinks or submerges and the fuel leaks, the fines can be huge.
The feds do the clean up and then come looking for you for reimbursement.

Good enough for me. Looks like I'll be seriously checking out BoatUS
tomorrow.

I called their 800 number, talked to 2 different people who thought
they were hooking me to an underwriter but just shunted me to a dial
tone, warned the third person about that, and she shunted me to a
voice mail.
The web site wants too much info to provide a quote.
I'll try earlier tomorrow, but I already don't like them.
