INSURANCE OF MOTOR BOATS.
Rates Based on Length
and Speed.
The growth of the motor boat fleets of the country at sea, in the harbours, and the inland waters, with an attending fre quency of accident and tragedy, has led the member companies of the U.S. National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Under- writers to develop a definite plan for rating motor boats of the private passenger type for pub- lic and property damage liability insurance.
A
This in no wise invades the field of the marine companies which insure hulls and possibly cargoes for larger vessels as rule. The new plan covers only the legal liability of the assured for damage which may be done by a boat to other persons and outside property.

After some months of inves- tigation, the bureau experts have decided that
from hazard standpoint motor boats should be divided into two classes: (1) Outboard, covering boats equipped with outboard motors which are customarily de- tachable and portable; (2) In- board, covering boats equipped |
For the with fixed engine. second class it has been decided that the hull may be of the open type, including runabouts, sedane, and similar craft, or the hulls may be equipped with a fixed on- Ant-closure, such as a cabin.
