The reward money alone covers the boat and deductible.
For a year—maybe two? I'd self-insure as well...

....it don't matter what insurance company you get ..... think of any well known brand name insurance .....plus a whole lot other lesser known insurance names ...... just that you got it ...... insurance coverage is just as important as good brakes, good tires, and good windshield wiper blades

Is everything OK with "Fat"? I have only been on the forum for about a year, but this is the first time I have seen his posts make any sense... It is refreshing!

I know a lot of “old farts” spending themselves into the poor farm. Stupidity isn’t the sole purview of the young!

From the LDS article, it seems likely that this was not as much as stolen boat as a vandalized boat. They went to remarkable lengths to sink it--what was the motive?

Jason--you might ask who wishes you ill, knows you own the boat, and has the mechanical aptitude to rig the bilge pump.
