does anyone insure their yak/gear? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have a friend who's an agent, so I have gotten into a habit of just insuring everything I own that's of any value, simply because the replacement policy is easy (i do that with all my camera equipment).

asked about insuring the kayak, and she originally put it in as sports equipment, and turned around an annual premium of just 28 bucks, which i obviously jumped at.

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?
