I don't think SEA is multiples of 10
Society of Automotive Engineers is British or Inches but what I’m referring to is millimeters or inches either measuring dimension is broken into multiples of 10 once you get to less than an inch or millimeter.
Like thousandths of an inch or millimeter is a multiple of 10.
Millimeters all the way up to Kilometers are all multiples of 10.
SAE or British measure is inches.. feet… miles… etc. but they are all goofy compared to metric.
Inches are broken up into thousandths when less than a full inch or on other side of decimal point.
See what I’m saying how metric is simple because down to a thousandth of a millimeter up to a kilometer is all measuring in tens or portions of ten.
12 inches in a foot. 5280 ft in a mile. Nothing is as simple as metric when it comes to measuring. More places are on Metric than not.

I would figure it’s harder for people that knew metric to learn English/British measure than a Person to learn metric after knowing British.
Take pictures of all your fishing gear. Take sperate photo's of what you usually take on the boat. That is cheap insurance. The companies usually pay based on retail, not sale prices. The stuff you forgot but see in the photos builds up quick and can be documented. Don't forget to photo the rods and reels. don't forget to claim line. Most fishing gear does not depreciate. Some even goes up in value. Photo copies from a CURRENT Antique Fishing Tackle book can legitimize your claims.
e-bay
I feel for you
I have had it happen twice,
What I had to do to get my fair shake was to go to the highest priced tackle store in town to get the prices. I made a list like strike king 1.5 three or four colors , Jack hammer chatter baits 2 or three in favorite color and a couple more in other colors and so on
They will depreciate all of it so you have to get it priced to help compensate, you are going to have to spend that money plus tax and personal time to replace it all.
Although you may enjoy the time in the tackle store with the new money
Good luck and don’t let a sorry S O B ruin your fishing.
When it happened to me my insurance took my list and priced everything out for replacement. Whatever you decide is fair is probably low to replace. I’d add a “miscellaneous” amount to account for all the things you discover missing over the next few years that you didn’t include in your initial list.

If it's what I told my wife under 100.00 for all of it. In reality 3-4 thousand and iy you walk into cabellas and just fill up one of the lure holders you're really have an idea. It really adds up fast; right Saw and good stipers fishing tomorrow!!
It’s funny you say that F F . I can remember coming home from work and taking my new tackle I just bought to the boat then go on inside and let the wife know I was home. Alls good, untill
One day while fishing with the wife she lost the (last chrome and blue rattle trap) in the middle of catching schooling white bass. I offered to give her mine then she smiled and said are you sure there is not one in one of those bags you have been putting in the boat? BUSTED
😂
If you had any hand tools stolen, here's what to tell the insurance man:
"They were all Craftsman tools." (or Proto, or any other brand with a lifetime free replacement.) That way, they can't depreciate them and reimburse you with only a percentage of what they cost. Their warranty makes them always worth the price of a new one at current prices.

I did have tools taken also, not here nor there as I was at least smart enough to have a modification to the depreciation clause written in the policy. Basically I need show that the "Depreciated" value settlement will not replace a missing item, then motion for "Recoverable" deprecation. Gotta show them a receipt for the replacement PURCHASE. Keeps people from pocketing all the cash. Were gonna see how this all works on my 17 year old 4 wheeler.
