I agree, but when it came to get an appraisal on mine from USAA, they used NADA. USAA also used NADA on my purchase of my Sunsetter. I believe (thats my opinion :P) that it is a good base line to start at. Then if you want to get more exact to worth, then collect the data yourself for what the boats are going for in your area. Last boat I bought, I drove up to Ohio to get because the resale market was significantly lower than my area (and it was extremely hard to find a boat in the South Texas area :()

Agreed value coverage - State Farm asked me how much I wanted mine insured for.

Sounds like you made your decision which I, not that it matters but...completely agree with.  If I were shopping I would take the LS3 over the G4 any day and I love the G4 but I am also a functionality over form type person.  70 hours is nothing and another "PRO" for the LSV is no need to do break in hours nor pay for the break in service at 20 hours.  This runs about $500 so consider that a savings as well.
