Just because you have a boat insured for a certain amount does not mean that they will pay that amount in a case of a total loss. You have to have a stated value for your boat and if you do not then they will pay up to the amount you have it insured. I have mine insured for like 8,500 and if its totaled they will determine the value which could be 6,500 and thats what I would receive. Just about all insurance Co. would require a survey to insure an older boat for stated value.
