    Boat Insurance Policy Change BC

    Got this letter from my broker yesterday. I intend to call them. Anyone else seen this? Obsolescence seems like a pretty broad term. If my boat model isn’t in production then what? Starting to feel like we’re gonna get shafted again by the man.

    Bead chains/Terminal gear….when to replace.

    Just curious how long you use bead chains/and other terminal gear? How do you know they’re done? And anybody lube them with WD40? I had a downrigger terminal gear swivel break in half 2 weeks ago. I hate throwing out gear but now realize it’s only a question of time when this **** breaks.

    Proline Boats? Quality?

    Just curious the opinion on Prolines. I’ve got my mind set on a Grady or a Pursuit in the 30 ft range, but, there’s some nicely priced Prolines out there. Anybody got one? How’s the quality. I’ve done some research on THT but it’s inconclusive.
