Worth knowing
Boesch Motorboote; cover, cost and conditions
Boesch has been building runabouts in mahogany plywood on frames at Lake Zurich since 1920, the last European yard to continue this method of construction in series production. A Boesch is a valuable asset, not a utility boat: new prices in the six-figure range, used boats hold their value over decades. In insurance terms this is a case for the unlimited agreed value in the Premium tariff and for a current appraisal.
The main source of claims with a Boesch is not the running, but the lying still. Wood works: dryness in winter storage, moisture in summer, and in between cracked varnish and moving seams. This ageing is wear and tear and cannot be insured. What can be insured is storm, hail, fire, theft and collision, and it is precisely with these events that the agreed value makes the difference, because repairing a mahogany hull is handwork by a specialist yard.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
Does the hull insurance cover cracked varnish and moving seams on a wooden hull?
No, that is ageing and therefore wear and tear. Covered are event damages: storm, hail, fire, theft, collision. In those cases the agreed value determines the indemnity.

Series by Boesch, with value and cover
Boesch 620 / 710 is a motorboat from Boesch (Switzerland), built since 1990, and today changes hands at between €180,000 and €520,000.
Boesch 750 / 970 is a motor yacht from Boesch (Switzerland), built since 1995, and today changes hands at between €320,000 and €900,000.
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.
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.
