Boat insurance is not mandatory and hence many boat owners may not have purchased boat insurance. Uninsured boater insurance is designed to provide protection for you or any person riding your boat if there is an accident with another boat that does not have insurance. This insurance also provides protection if you happen to get involved in a hit-and-run case where you have no information of the other boat that has hit you. Your guests on the boat will also be covered.
The uninsured boater coverage will pay for medical treatment, wage loss and other such damages that any third party has caused you and which you would have received from the insurance of the person at fault if he was insured. There is, however, a coverage limit that you have the liberty to select. In case the cost of treating your injury exceeds the liability limits of the person at fault, you may make use of the uninsured boater bodily injury coverage to pay for the treatment costs.

Figure out the value of the boat first and then determine the personal assets. It is recommendable that you should have adequate liability and property coverage to replace the boat contents. Otherwise you would have to loose your wealth.
