Canopied Boats...

...should this affect insurance either up or down??? I am looking at 30' canopied boat and am starting to research insurance. Yes this boat will be raced yet I don't expect insurance to cover any of that. I do however plan to use this boat as often as possible for rec. and testing. That is what I want the coverage for...just weekend pleasure...

Should I expect any trouble?

It does affect coverage but some people still issue policies.

Stacy at Wavezone found me coverage.
