Worth knowing
Renken Boat Manufacturing; cover, cost and conditions
Renken built bowriders and cuddy boats in Florida which in Europe run almost exclusively as used imports. The hull is solid, the fit-out plain, and today the value lies mainly in the propulsion. Anyone who has fitted a new engine should adjust the sum insured, otherwise they are insuring a boat that no longer exists in that form.
On sterndrive boats of this age, the bellows and the exhaust manifold are the two parts that trigger damage. Both are maintenance, not insurance. What is covered is what follows from it when it happens suddenly, for example water ingress after a collision. A maintenance record in the ship's papers saves the longer discussion in the event of a claim.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Is engine damage insured as well?
Only as a consequence of a covered event, for example collision, fire or water ingress. Wear and the consequences of maintenance are excluded.
How high should I set the value?
At the replacement value for a comparable boat on the German market, including the engine and permanently installed electronics.

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.
On a fishing boat the gear is often worth more than expected: sounder, trolling motor and rods are covered as equipment if they are listed.
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.
Models of this make we insure
