Worth knowing
Thundercraft; cover, cost and conditions
Thundercraft has eleven ranges, among them the Diablo 185, 205 and 230 motor boats, the Magnum 215 and the Express 240 to 350 motor yachts. The years of construction lie between 1990 and 2000. If you take over such a boat, you can replace the previous policy through the switching service.
NAMMERT cancels the existing contract free of charge, so that no gap arises. Insurance is provided regardless of year of construction, place of purchase and previous owners, and in the Premium tariff full hull cover runs with no age limit, with an agreed value and with no deduction for depreciation (new for old).
Between an open motor boat and an Express motor yacht there are differences in value and machinery. That is exactly what the premium comes from: type of boat, value, year of construction, engine power and cruising range count, the manufacturer's name does not. The trailer is covered by the third-party liability at no extra premium from Basis-Plus, provided it is named in the application with its value. You can add it to the hull cover for a premium.

That is why we work with an agreed value: you state the figure, we agree it,
and in a total loss exactly that amount is paid, with no deduction for wear.
For the Diablo 205, Diablo 230, Diablo 185 by Thundercraft and further series:
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part.
Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For the Express 240, Express 260, Express 280 by Thundercraft 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.
