One of the cost issues with BoatUS insurance is because they offer 75 mile offshore coverage on ALL policies, which adds to their cost.  Unless you take your boat to the coast there is no need in paying for the extra coverage.  It's kinda like obamacare coverage for birth control pills when you're 60 years old.  I tried to get them to give me inland only coverage, but they don't write it.  My guess is Boat US has a contract with TowBoatUS for insured towing, so you'd get the same coverage by buying an annual contract for $67.00, that covers all your boats.  BoatUS has been hammered by hurricane damage the past ten years and they're trying to get rich again.
