Preci boats
Preci is a small volume boat builder with 107 hulls registered in the US, predominantly gas powered (73%) with a smaller mix of non motorized, electric, and alternative fuel models. The registered fleet peaks in the early to mid 2000s, making most available Preci boats 15 to 25 years old. This brand suits buyers seeking less common models who are comfortable evaluating older hulls on a case by case basis.
Are Preci boats reliable?
Preci has zero USCG safety recalls on record across its registered fleet, a clean regulatory history. Ownership costs on used Preci boats are driven primarily by age, with most hulls from 2001 to 2008 and some dating to the late 1980s, so expect maintenance needs typical of 15 to 40 year old fiberglass and mechanical systems rather than brand specific defects.
Common problems to inspect on a used Preci
- Transom and stringer integrity on older gas models, especially pre 2000 hulls
- Electrical corrosion and wiring degradation common to 20 plus year old boats
- Gelcoat crazing and deck delamination from UV exposure over decades
- Outboard or sterndrive condition and service history, critical on the 73% gas powered fleet

Frequently asked questions
Are Preci boats reliable?
Preci boats have zero USCG recalls on record, but reliability depends heavily on age and prior owner maintenance since most registered hulls are 15 to 40 years old. A thorough pre purchase survey is essential given the limited service network for a small volume brand.
What is Preci known for?
Preci is a low production builder with 107 US registered hulls, known for a diverse fuel mix including gas (73%), non motorized (18%), and electric (5%) models. The brand has a small but varied catalog rather than a single dominant niche.
Do Preci boats hold their value?
Resale value for Preci boats is constrained by limited brand recognition and a small buyer pool, typical of boutique builders with under 150 US hulls. Age is the primary value driver, with most available inventory from the early 2000s.
Where can I find used Preci boats for sale?
Used Preci boats appear infrequently on national listing sites due to the small total production of 107 US registered hulls. Buyers should monitor multiple platforms over several months and be prepared to travel or consider similar models from larger builders with better parts availability.
