FWIW, my premium is based on agreed value.  At $40K agreed value, the premium 
is $716 w Progressive within 75 nautical miles.  They didn't require any 
survey, so I save on that.  I believe BoatUS requires a survery before insuring 
and every five years.  I also get a discount for no claims for over ten years, 
and safe boating course.  To me she's worth $70K but I'll be lucky to sell for 
$25K, with today's market.  And that was before considering Covid-19.  I 
probably could save some money on the premium by dropping the value, but I'm 
not sure I want to do that.
