If you are a boat owner living in any of the South Florida waterfront communities, then you need to to beware. If you ever run aground and have to call for a tow, make sure you read everything you sign; don't just assume it is innocent paper work.
When you call for a boat tow, there are forms you have to sign, but here is where you must beware: by putting your signature on an Open Form (a non negotiated agreement) you or your insurance company may have to pay up to 40% of the value of your boat to someone who just pulled your boat off a sandbar.
Not only does this practice cause increased premiums for all boaters, but there is a real possibility that you may not be able to renew your insurance coverage with your current insurer (or any other Insurance Company), espcially if you have submitted a previous claim.
