Insurance Valuation
Submitted by Bradmac73 on Tue, 2026-08-11 09:51
Hi all,
I've recently completed a refurb and repower of Leeder Cusomcraft so looking to increase the insurance from the purchase price which was well below current market val. Given these boats are not particularly common insurers want an independant valuation as they don;t have a listed valuation for them.
Has anyone done the same and have recommendations of providers of these valuations? Also there seems to be 2 options, inspection or desktop, is there any reason to go with one over the other?
Appreciate any advice.
cheers
Mac
