Action Craft recalls
Action Craft boats have 3 recall campaigns on record across 114 reported units. Below is every campaign, what it covers, and how to confirm a specific hull was fixed before you buy.
ACTION CRAFT has three USCG safety recalls on record, all issued between 1992 and 1996, affecting a total of 114 boats across the 1760 Bayrunner, Eagle, and 1800 Coastline model lines. The campaigns addressed capacity plate errors (maximum persons and weight ratings), horsepower markings, and level flotation requirements. These are compliance labeling and flotation issues rather than structural defects, but a used buyer should verify that any affected boat received the required corrections.

What to check before you buy a used Action Craft
- Confirm the boat's model and year against the three recall campaigns to determine if your candidate was included in the affected production runs.
- Check the capacity plate and hull identification number with the seller or a marine surveyor to verify that corrected labels were installed if the boat was subject to a recall.
- Request documentation of the remedy completion from the original owner or dealer, as these campaigns required plate replacement or flotation certification.
- If the boat falls within an affected model and year range but lacks proof of correction, factor the cost of a surveyor inspection and potential remediation into your offer.

Are ACTION CRAFT boats safe to buy used?
The recalls are limited to specific early to mid 1990s models and addressed labeling and flotation requirements that were correctable with plate replacement or certification. Verify recall status by HIN and confirm remedy completion before purchase.
How do I check if my ACTION CRAFT was recalled?
Cross reference your hull identification number and model year against the three campaigns (920410S, 920406S, 951411S) on the USCG recall database or ask a surveyor to confirm whether your boat was part of the affected production runs.
