Not sure if you need insurance for your bass boat?

It’s true, boat insurance is only legally required in a few states. However, that’s not the only reason to buy bass boat insurance. You’ll need a boat insurance policy with comprehensive and collision protection to protect your boat against physical damage. This helps avoid paying out of pocket for expensive repairs. Additionally, liability coverage is great when you need to pay for the damages or injuries you caused to other boaters, but it won’t help repair your bass boat.
