Boats don't get used every single day for the most part, and in some areas it can't be used during the winter months. That being...more
Maritime law is the law of the sea. Maritime law is very, very different from California State law. One of the peculiar parts of maritime law is the Limitation of Liability Act. Under the Limitation of Liability Act, if certain factual prerequisites are met, a shipowner can limit its liability for a accident to the value of their vessel.Stated differently, if you are seriously injured in a boat accident your recovery may be limited to the value of the boat that caused your injuries. Which, quite obviously, may result in you not being adequately compensated for your serious boat injuries.The Limitation of Liability ActThe Shipowners Limitation of Liability Act of 1851, ("the Act"), may limit the liability of the owner of a vessel to the value of the vessel.

Buying a boat for one- self is a dream that many share in common. But boats can be very expensive. Either you can buy it on loan from the bank or buy it when some repossessed boats are sold off in auction at very low prices. Boat auctions are good choice for showering yourself with the luxury of owning a boat. But you need luck too for availing such an opportunity as a boat auction.The whole story of boat auction is that sometimes the people who do not have the entire money at hand and yet have a strong desire to purchase a boat, take out loans from banks to buy them.Purchasing a boat can be a very expensive affair. And at times, many fail to repay the bank, the loan they had taken out. In such circumstances, the bank has to take away the boat and its ownership from the defaulter. But the bank does not need boats; it needs liquid assets, in the form of money. So the bank needs to get rid of these repo boats.These are called repo boats because they are repossessed or re-acquired by the bank. Consequently the boats are put up for auctions by the bank. These expensive boats that are available at reasonably subsidized rates are much coveted and all those who have a knack...more
