Shallow-water boats, specific questions
Expect questions about hull material, length, outboard horsepower, the boat's estimated value and how it is stored. Many flats boats are trailered, which matters for both the boat and the trailer.
Added equipment
Poling platforms, push poles, shallow-water anchors, trolling motors and electronics can add real value. Keep a rough list and value handy.
Flat-bottom questions
Our quote form asks whether a boat is flat-bottom. Some insurers ask about hull shape; answering 'Not sure' is fine.
