I have been with Rescue Marine ever since. However, now reading that some companies will insure multiple boats for less $$ I may need to switch. I will say that with Rescue Marine the boat is insured, not just me... So when my dad or brother takes it out they are still covered. When they insure you as an individual, then you need to be on the boat for them to cover it.

Thanks for the info, Matt! I'll keep all of that in mind. In my case, we've got a 270 Sea Ray and a 17' Triton. BoatUS covering both will be nice, especially since the Triton is used on the Ohio River and other bodies of water for duck hunting and Rescue Marine is only good on the lake.
