I checked with my agent RE. an insurance policy for the Catalina Ski Race. I was told it's a per event rider on your existing policy. I don't know if it covers recovery, but I was also told that in terms of insurance for high performance boats, if you want to be insured in the future, you need to think in terms of "life altering" before you file a claim. ANY claim (except towing) is going to get you either dropped or astronomically raise your rates in the near future.

We were tied up a few boat lengths past the finish line on Saturday. Depth finder showed about 79' there and most of the lake is 50+ from what we noticed, heck our dock depth was at 39' only ten feet from shore.
During the run you could hear it getting squirrelly with drastic rpm surges, sounded like he got out of it not far from the finish, recovered and hammered back into it, she snapped 90 degrees & it was a big violent splash & parts galor. Couldn't see if he was thrown clear though. Boat sank like a 12-ton anchor.
Rescue boats on site immediately and more came within a minute or two. Worst part as a spectator was not seeing any fire boats leave quickly & no input from radio feed, so no one knew what was happening.
After rescue boats left, few sherrif boats circled around I presume to make sure the boat was on the bottom & not likely to bob back up & become a race hazard.
Never did get any word if they found him, he was OK, or anything on the radio. Racing resumed shortly thereafter, which led to lots of speculation going from boat to boat.
Relieved to hear he was pronounced OK the next morning. Best wishes on a full recovery and hopefully something is salvageable from the boat. I know up in NE IL it's a $1,000 per day fine from DNR if your boat is left at the bottom and minimum $500 to pull it up.
