That sucks.
More than likely no insurance also.

Dating a commercial insurance agent for 2 years, I'm amazed how many people have terrible/incorrect/overpriced insurance.

Don't know a thing about this boat but would you insure some of those boats??? I am amazed some of them still float tied up at the dock!! Some are in very rough condition but still go out. The rust is what holds them together!

Each carrier is different in what they require (inspection etc)
