You would think the insurance company would total the boat out, but want the boat to salvage. Or at least that's how I would assume it would work. How it works with a car. If you sell the salvage vehicle, they give you a smaller check. If they don't have insurance, they usually just leave it on the bottom. If they do have insurance, the insurance will tell you to call for a recovery of it and they will reimburse you. I sunk one years ago and that's what they had me do. I ended up getting a couple of tractor inner tubes tied to it then inflated them and floated it to the surface, towed to shore and then flipped it back over. Mine sunk from a drain plug that came out after several hours of fishing. Once the water came up thru the floor that was about it. It rolled and went under in just a few seconds.

Yep, 5 years ago on Rayburn, some friends were late to the closing ceremony because they stopped and helped some guys who had hit a stump, ripped the back end out of the boat and was going down, so they stopped and helped the guys on the sinking boat. One of their names had been drawn for the cash but he lost out for not being present. He was kinda sick about losing the money but couldn’t have lived with himself for not stopping and helping!

I have not looked over the rules for Sealy's tournaments for years now. But I believe your boat has to be insured, to fish any of his tournaments or you are disqualified. As I said before Sealy makes his own rules over what the written rules are. Not right. Also there is a point about his name really being drawn.

I don't think Sealy's has any insurance rule that I remember but it's been several years since I entered one. Sealy does change things on the fly as he wishes just like the people measuring the fish will change how they measure them when they feel like it. It isn't the best run BB tournament it just gives out too much money for people to stop.

I doubt there's an insurance rule. That'd rule out about half the guys that enter on Rayburn haha. Most if them are fishing out of 1980 kingfishers

There is no rule stating that you need insurance in Sealy's tournaments.
