the underwriters came back today and told her that she has to change it because kayaks / canoes are considered boats. which jumped it up to $75/year, which is actually just the minimum premium, but it would be good to $6000 value, including the kayak, and any/all equipment associated, with a $100 deductible.

at 75/year, it's still pretty cheap in my opinion, but it's not 28.. >_< what are you guys' thoughts? do you guys carry insurance for the yak/equipment?
Do it!!! With the wear and tear that we put on our equipment, its definitely worth it.

If you follow through on it, please let me know. I'm really curious on what types of situations the policy lets you claim loss on....
