Some of the underwriters also put a limit in "tonnage". The new materials allow larger boats within the weight limits.

tonnage/weight. Huh?


Yes that is the way it works. The underwriters put limits on the weight and value of the boats the underwriters will insure for use without a crew. No insurance no finance along with some other issues. You may not like it but the underwriters decided what boats are bareboat and what boats are not. The marketing companies would rent anything the owners would buy and the customers would pay for.
