House boat insurance basics
Purchasing a houseboat is guaranteed to give you years of unlimited pleasure. Provided, however that you’ve insured your houseboat properly. Otherwise, you could lose your life’s savings and in the worse case scenario, and be forced to file for bankruptcy.
In the marine insurance industry, houseboats are categorized together with jet boats, ski boats, sailboats, cabin cruisers and party boats as a pleasure boat. For this reason, this kind of coverage is not generally handled by regular insurance companies. You should carefully shop for underwriters who specifically handle these policies.
The first houseboat insurance tenet you must follow is to find a reliable insurer who’ll service your needs. Conduct the search both ways.
· Word of mouth
Ask boating friends for insurance recommendations.
· Conduct research on the recommended insurance carriers, the company in-charge of providing you coverage.
The following facts (as provided by the Insurance Information Institute) about your houseboat, such as horsepower, size and age of your boat, the type of craft and where it is used (i.e. moored in a river or hurricane prone area), determines coverage and premium you will pay for your houseboat.
Once that’s done, you can now carefully consider which of these policy clauses can help maximize your coverage and accurately answer your particular needs.
Hull and Machinery Clause
Because your houseboat is placed in the same pleasure boat category as a cabin cruiser, certain rates, coverage, restrictions, and terms will be similar.
Still, there are differences. The function of a houseboat is different from a cabin cruiser. The construction of a houseboat reflects this. They are normally flat-bottomed and designed to navigate slowly through the waters.
Many houseboats are bulkier, since they come equipped with bigger sleeping & living areas, full galley, and enclosed head. A race boat or cabin cruiser is smaller, more seaworthy, and easy to maneuver and built for speed.

What's the average price to rent a ski boat?
Any info. would be appreciated. My husband, and I are thinking about renting a ski boat, and taking the kids tubing.
In the Hot Springs, AR area
I believe that town has a heavy tourist attraction along with a large lake nearby, thus with a small premium cost added to the area. You can thank "supply and demand" for the extra 5 to 10% more in cost.
Therefore, you're more looking at spending $85 to $115 an hour for a par quality ski boat. Depending on which marina you go to and what type of ski boat you rent. I'm not sure of the 1/2 day and day rates, these can vary greatly depending on the marina you go to.
Keep in mind, renting a boat does NOT excuse you from meeting all the legal requirements to operate a vessel in Arkansas. You already meet the age requirements since you are a legal adult. However, whether you are an Arkansas resident or not, and you are born after January 1st, 1986, you must have a boater education course ID approved by the NASBLA. The ID must kept on the vessel being operated at all times.
Also, don't forget that towables (skis, tube, kneeboard, wakeboard) are NOT included with the boat rental for most marinas. That means you have to pay to rent these items. Sucks, but that's the way it is.
