Author	Topic:   Insurance on 1970 Whaler
BRasper	posted 03-05-2009 09:55 AM ET (US)         I have a 1970 Boston Whaler with a 40hp Yamaha on it. I have completely restored this boat and have put about $5000 in it. The insurance company only wants to insure it for the bill of sale amount which was $1500. Does any one have any advise or recommendations? I am trying to find a reasonable marine appraiser in the West Palm Beach FL area. Or does anyone else know how I can document this myself as an antique? How do I find the value on an antique Whaler?

The 1976 outrage we did is insured for $65000 or $75000 if I remember correctly.
