    Boat is listed under my house insurance with a separate rider. A couple of my firearms are also listed because the replacement would exceed what would be allowable by standard house insurance.

    I insure my toys with liability, comp, and fire/theft. I don't insure for collision, and figure I'll just take on the chin if I ever total something. I insure a road bike, ATV, UTV, and snowmobile and my cost is around $1000 a year.

    That is correct, I use to drive my skidoo on my friends farm land 500 ac. But to go off private you need insurance.

    Actually that is not correct.
    If you don't own or occupy the land you require insurance.
    Just because it's your friends property does excuse you from legally needing insurance.
    Will you get caught? Most likely not but if an accident occurs and the police get involved expect to be nailed.

    rick-iles actually you may be correct under the MSVA Act owning the land isn't mentioned. Just that the snowmobile must be owned by the occupier of the land.

    Yeah I'll take my chance on private land.

    Insurance wise for off private land I just have the basics where it is required. I don't have theft on any of my equipment except my truck which has full coverage (They gave me full coverage for an extra 10 bucks a month).

    When I do leave equipment behind we either chain stuff together, hide it or bring it with us. I never use to lock anything but have read enough stories on here of people having their stuff stolen that we started taking extra protection.
