It is up to the boaters to be sure their insurance papers are up to date. Please keep a copy in your boat. Before take off the tournament director will randomly pull boat numbers to check their insurance papers. IF YOUR INSURANCE PAPERS ARE NOT UP TO DATE, YOU AND YOUR PARTNER WILL BE UNABLE TO FISH. Please be vigilant about keeping your papers up to date. If your policy renews midyear, it is imperative you get the newest form. Please contact your insurance agent to get a certificate of insurance on the boat you are running. Any questions, please contact your tournament director.
