Worth knowing
Bell, Ernst J.; cover, cost and conditions
Three motorboat ranges are recorded under Bell, Ernst J.: Bell-Ina and Bell-Ina-Sport from 1965 to 1978 as well as Bell-Amigo from 1968 to 1978. Production therefore lies far in the past. For boats from these years the full hull cover remains open in the Premium tariff with no age limit, and indemnity is based on the agreed value.
With a boat that has six decades of history, the market value is hard to pin down. The agreed value sets the amount of indemnity in advance, and there is no deduction for depreciation (new for old). We insure irrespective of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, even if the paperwork has remained incomplete.
Boats of this size often stand on a trailer. The boat trailer is included at no extra premium, and the cover applies during craning, launching, on the transport route and in winter storage. Conversions or one-off builds are not an exclusion, because small series and home builds are insurable too.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Can a motorboat from 1965 still be given full hull cover?
Yes. In the Premium tariff the full hull cover applies with no age limit. The agreed value determines the indemnity, and there is no deduction for depreciation (new for old), irrespective of the boat's year of construction.
Does the trailer need a policy of its own?
No. The boat trailer is included in the boat insurance at no extra premium. The cover accompanies the boat on the transport route, during launching and during craning as well as through the winter in storage.
