Bass Cat Boats; cover, cost and conditions
Bass Cat Boats is listed with 19 models, all motorboats. The models carry big cat names: Jaguar, Puma FTD, Cougar FTD, Pantera Classic and II, Eyra, Lynx, Margay, Caracal, Sabre FTD and Bay Cat. Build years run since 2007, lengths from 4.6 to 6.6 m.
Bass boats are built for freshwater fishing: shallow draught, fast and with a powerful outboard. Standard equipment includes an electric bow motor, fish finders and livewells. This equipment accounts for a substantial share of the value and is at the same time the preferred target for theft, so it belongs explicitly in the equipment list rather than being lumped under accessories.
NAMMERT insures Bass Cat boats regardless of build year and place of purchase, including imports from the USA. As these boats sit on a trailer almost all the time and are stored ashore, transport, theft and storm damage on land are the relevant building blocks. You can calculate the premium for liability and hull cover in the online calculator in about 5 minutes.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Are the fish finder and bow motor covered?
Yes, if they appear in the equipment list and are included in the sum insured. On fishing boats in particular the electronics add up quickly, so they should be named individually rather than estimated in a lump.
Is my boat insured while parked at home under a carport?
With hull cover that includes time ashore, yes. Storm, fire and theft often strike boats exactly there. Tell us where the boat is kept out of season and it will be taken into account.

As the series is 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.
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.
