Worth knowing
ABIM Watersport; cover, cost and conditions
ABIM Watersport is a Dutch yard in Ossenzijl, Friesland, on the edge of the Weerribben national park. It builds classic steel motor yachts meant for comfortable living aboard on Europe's inland waterways, typically with a quiet diesel, bow and stern thrusters and a generous saloon. The Abim Classic name and the numbers give them away: the number is roughly the length in decimetres, so the Classic 118 is about 11.85 metres. AK and OK follow Dutch usage for an aft cabin version and an open cockpit version.
Our model records list 18 ABIM designs, all motor yachts. Seventeen belong to the Abim Classic line and one is the Ellips 142. Five carry AK (108, 118, 128, 138, 148) and three OK (98, 128, 138). Build years start in 2003 with the Classic 118, and a new generation, the 114, 124, 134, 144, 154 and Ellips 142, arrived in 2014. The Classic 124, 134 and 144 run into the latest build years. Sizes go from the 10 metre Classic 98 OK to the 15.4 metre Classic 154.
An ABIM is a boat for slow travel: canals, rivers and lakes, often across borders, with the evening spent alongside a quay. Steel likes attention, so the paint below the waterline and the anodes deserve a look each haul out. A winter berth in a shed keeps the varnished woodwork in shape.

As the Abim Classic 124, Abim Classic 134 and Abim Classic 144 by ABIM Watersport series are still
in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable.
Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
For the Abim Classic 154, Abim Ellips 142,
Abim Classic 114 by ABIM Watersport and 12 more series the market value and the replacement cost
often differ widely.
An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
For the Abim Classic 124, Abim Classic 134,
Abim Classic 144 by ABIM Watersport and further series:
On motor yachts the drive and the electronics together make up about half the value.
Both belong in the valuation, otherwise the sum insured is too low.
