OK, Could you quantify that statement?
How does a surveyor that evaluates a 30 year old boat against current ABYC standards drive up insurance costs? I'm having trouble drawing that logical conclusion. Please enlightn me.
I would argue that forcing boaters to upgrade their boats to the latest standards would actually lower rates for all of us, since it lowers the risk of loss, it lowers the price an insurer can sell coverage and still make a profit.
