Allstate's Explanation of Boat and Trailer Coverage While Towing

[Bruce]

I received this article from Allstate. It is written to be generalized rather than for their specific policies. It may help us avoid surprises in the event of a trailering accident.

Great stuff...Thanks Bruce!

Yeah that's interesting. Makes me wonder, if there are potential gaps in coverage, why wouldn;t my insurance "expert" bring this up at the time of getting the policy? Sounds like they don;t know their products very well and I need to get on the phone with them !!! ???

We have wondered about switching the boat insurance to a cheaper insurer. That would take away the umbrella protection - not worth it.
thank you for posting this information.

Thanks @Bruce , I plan to give my auto and boat insurers a call today just to verify I'm covered all the way around.
