Every marina I have stayed in required proof of liability insurance before they will rent you a slip. Something to think about if you do that type of thing. Jim M-17 #603 Grace On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 3:13 PM, Daniel Rich <danielgrich@gmail.com> wrote:

Back to the overall question - just call your insurance person for your other policies and ask about boat insurance options.
I did that...after learning that when towing it's covered by my car policy, I asked about damage/loss/etc. for the boat itself and he was able to tell me right away that they (Allstate, in Oregon, YMMV by state and company) don't insure boats that old (1973 in the case of my current one). If your agent knows their stuff they should be able to give you the basic options/conditions in a quick phone call.

oh yes!!! if the local/state/fed finds you caused a spill you get hit with fine(s), cost to contain, etc etc etc. if your boat sinks, or gets hit, the local/state/fed will bring in staff and put an containment boom around the boat. you get charged for this. doesn't take a lot of oil/gas to create a lot of problems (most obvious is the oily sheen on the water).
