I haven’t heard of that, but a friend of mine who bought a slightly used Sabre 48 powerboat could not get insurance unless he has a licensed captain on board every time he goes out for three years. After three years (even if the boat sits at the dock the entire time), he will be deemed worthy to captain his own boat.

This is strange. I was chatting with a friend who is looking for a larger boat (power). He said a couple of insurance representatives and a knowledgeable broker told him he could not get insurance for a boat more than 15 feet longer than his existing boat unless he has a master's license. Anybody else heard that? Can't seem to find an answer on the internet. And how does one buy a first boat if it's long? He's okay because he is only moving from 23 feet to 37 feet. He has taken the Power Squadron course and said that didn't matter. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
