Lost one of my boats in Keyport as we'll and just invested 25k for 2 brand new engines a month before. Only smart thing I did was uped the insurance when I bought the engines so a somewhat happy ending for me. I hope he has good insurance.

Btw there are 2 ways to insure your boat....Agreed to value and blue book value which is just like how cars do it. I've always thought the Agreed to value was better route, especially if you have made improvements to the boat. You assign a value you want to be insured for a pay your premium based on that. I never would have got the money I had spent on those new engines on a blue book value policy.

That's 1 bad day for the poor guy who owns that boat. Don't know the cause but a lot of boats sink when the pump fails or battery dies. Couple things that could help. Put a battery charger on the boat. If you do install a timer so if the charger fails you won't cook out the battery. Also install a 2nd pump 4 or 5" higher then the original. It's a good idea to discharge to the other side of the boat then your 1st pump. This will let you know if the 1st 1 fails.
