andykane 170 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Interesting - I double checked and none of the applications I've completed for various boats ever asked about that. I wonder if it's a hurricane belt thing? Around here a salvage boat isn't a common thing. Ultimately, the solution would be to document the repair, have the process/laminate schedule approved by a professional, and have the repair approved by a surveyor. They'd also want the surveyor to determine a market value so they're insured for the repaired value instead of their purchase price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They( the insurance company) only want to know if it is salvage to ascertain the price that you paid for it as a salvage item. They will only insure it for your purchase price. $1,000,000 yacht bought for $3,500.00 salvage, whether you improve it or not is insured for $3,500.00 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail4beer 2,488 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 2 things insurers ask, “is it salvage and what did you pay for it?”. You may have just purchased a Hinckley 40 for cheap and want to insure it for $100,000+. They aren’t going to go for it even with a recent survey I should clarify that if the boat is in good enough shape or less that 10 years old, insurers will insure the boat at market value. The Fareast28R I bought as salvage is insured for $60,000 agreed upon value. It was dismasted and the carbon fiber rudder was damaged. I replaced both, however, the insurance company specifically told me that they would not cover a dismasting or rudder damage in the future , which I find odd. I just spent $9,000 out of my pocket for those... My wooden cutter is insured for liability only. If I don’t file any claim for a year they will value the boat at the surveyed amount, which is around $50,000. I let the insurance expire by accident...now I have wait the year out and hopefully nothing happens to it or I screwed myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what the boat is insured for, regardless of history. If you can find an amenable surveyor you can insure anything for whatever value, as long as it isn't completely outrageous. There are some insurance companies that are wise to this and have a list of acceptable surveyors. I have insured two sailboats in the last 6 months, in no case did the insurance company ask what we paid for the boats. They just wanted the surveys. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sail4beer 2,488 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The cutter was surveyed at $35,000 before I did a lot of restoration work on it. The value was based on what people in my area would pay for it. He said it would have been $50,000 if he were surveying it in Maine or Long Island Sound where there is a market for older wooden yachts. 1 hour ago, George Dewey said: That seems like pretty short money for a carbon mast... Or did you replace it with aluminum? The rig is aluminum. Sorry for the confusion. Only the keel and rudder/tiller are carbon. Fareast wanted to keep the costs down for the class and uses aluminum mast, boom and retractable bow sprit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We've been asked the question everytime we've been quoted insurance: Has the vessel proposed for insurance been subject to:- (a) conversion? No (b) modification? No (c) amateur construction? No If ‘Yes’ give full details Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUBBY 336 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 So which part of the question picks up an amateur repair? It's a fine line, but it probably could be argued the the "construction" was professional. (Professional does not have to mean good or even adequate). Construction by one of the worlds biggest professional boat builders, (major) repairs by amateurs. Anything in this statement untrue? So that makes the answers, (a) No (b) No (c) No. Fair probably not but untrue also probably not. Poor question. probably, depending on whether the insurer really wants to know or is just covering themselves. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Almost every cored boat is poorly built - the penetrations are never sealed properly. Yet manufacturers tout their excellence in construction. Does any builder using cored hulls seal the factory penetrations properly? We know that Carroll, J, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Santa Cruz and Catalina didn't, and probably still don't to this day. Built in obsolescence unless the owners take care of it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
