I just got off the phone with an insurance adjuster with Boat US.
My thoughts were that maybe after spending 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars rebuilding Scout that maybe I should look into raising the agreed value on my insurance policy. It due next month.
I was asked about what upgrades and started on my list. "Teak decks removed and reglassed, windows removed and replaced with new aluminum windows, new 2-part part paint topsides and hull, bottom stripped and epoxy coated.....".
At that point the underwriter interrupted me and said "sir, that's considered routine maintenance and adds nothing to the value of your boat". I said, "say what?". They repeated the bit about just being routine maintenance.
I starting laughing so hard I never got to all the system upgrades. I could barely say "I'm going to have to call you back".
