Worth knowing
Wiking Boote; cover, cost and conditions
The Komet range from Wiking is a piece of German boating history and is still strongly represented in the portfolio today. These are small, trailerable boats which are often run with outboards of between 15 and 60 hp. For the premium the power output is decisive, for hull insurance the engine with its serial number in the policy.
Hulls of this age bring two points to check: the transom and the floor frames. A soft transom, usually caused by water behind the engine mounting, is structural damage and is recognised by no hull insurance as a sudden event. Anyone who checks it at the time of purchase saves the discussion later.
For trailer use the following applies: transport, launching and craning are included with us, and the trailer is included at no extra premium if its value is stated in the policy. Theft of the trailer together with the boat is more frequent with small sports boats than theft from the water, and a hitch lock noticeably reduces the risk.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is a soft transom an insured event?
No, that is structural and maintenance damage. What is insured are sudden events such as collision, storm or theft.
Is the trailer included at no extra premium?
Yes, within the boat insurance, if you state the trailer value in the calculator. Transport, launching and craning are included.

For a series of this age there is no list price left. 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.
On a motorboat the drive is the single most valuable part. Damage after grounding is covered, an engine failure from wear is not.
For a series built in these years 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.
