Hi, I'm looking at a Rib that's rated for up to 150hp but has a 175 two stroke HPDi fitted at the moment - if I purchase this boat would it be technically uninsurable? What about resale - would it present a problem then and put off potential purchasers? It's a used boat, just don't want to be stuck with it.
The 175hp is likely the same block as a 150. Just change the stickers or cowling?
If it has an accident, a fire, major leg damage, or is stolen and recovered then you can expect someone to inspect and examine the wreckage with the aim of avoiding a payout understanding the loss. Even the serial number on a claim form would be a give away.
At that point they will decide you intentionally mislead them, and you can foget any payout.
