Insured Value

Has anyone upped their declared value on their policy recently? If so, was a survey required?

I renew in a few months and I think my coverage is about $25k below what it would cost to replace my boat.

    I was able to up mine $10k but needed to show some receipts . I'm thinking of having a survey done beginning of next season to get it where it should be.

    Can't you declare any value that you're willing to pay for, within reason?  If you increase the declared value 20%, your premium will go up 20%.  Most companies will happily take the money.  That's been my experience with State Farm.  No survey.

    I believe you are correct @LaRea but only to a certain value - might be suspicious to have $250k coverage on a $100k boat. Would be a real shame if it sunk…

    @shawnmjr you might want to look at reducing the declared value to lower your premiums.
