I pay a little over $300.00 for my 18 ft aluminum and 75 tiller, all perils and replacement coverage. As Trimmer said, it’s a good idea !
As litigious as society has gone, I won’t go without insurance coverage.

Never knew you had to renew a boat registration. I tried looking on the government site and found nothing stating that, only how to get a repalcement certificate...

Well here it is: Renewing or updating a Pleasure Craft Licence

A Pleasure Craft Licence that was issued or updated after 2010 is valid for 10 years. At the end of that period, you must renew your licence.

Thanks, guess I missed that page. So am I correct that since I licensed my boat prior to 2010, I don't need to renew it? It only states those after 2010 are required to renew every 10 years

By the looks of it, you should be ok as long as your address, etc is still the same. There's no cost..so far.
