Darith · 2022-12-21 09:48:05

Hello, Thanks for eveybody's help in advance. Interested in buying a boat, it is 1968. Just got one insurance quote but others are pushing back abit. Is it possible to keep getting insurance after 50 years upto 60 years or more in general?

Or would one just need more surveys?

If you keep the value of the boat under 10 grand you will be able to get 3rd party insurance without a survey, I use craftinsure and my boat was built in the 70's. If it is your first boat or you don't know much about them it would be worth your while getting a survey anyway, could save you a fortune and a lot of heartache 😉
