house odds would favor that $700ish being money you will never see back at resale time and IF there is a fire that it saves, you are now left with a salvage boat to argue with insurance over vs a total and a new boat being ordered.

I know it's safety and you can't put a price on life or limb but as guppy mentioned, if it was common, just like surfpipes, our nanny state would have already passed legislation and Larry's msrp would be $1800 more..
Pretty dramatic assessment of a system that could help you survive a fire, maybe save your boat in a minor situation, enable you to grab life vests for all passengers before bailing....and costs a few hundred bucks.

I could not give a rat’s ass about recouping my fire extinguisher cost on resale. Or my electric trailer brakes cost for that matter, another item that makes towing just a bit safer. These are personal choices to add some safety.

But I am a crazy one, I also get the good fire and smoke detectors for my house, and have multiple CO detectors. Probably not gonna recoup those costs when I sell my house.
