What to check before you buy a used All Family Craft
- Cross reference the boat's hull identification number (HIN) with USCG recall campaign 940226T (1994, Merc Sport 90 models) or 09R3283S (2009, Bay Charger 22 foot) to confirm whether your target vessel falls within the affected serial ranges.
- Request written proof from the seller that the recall remedy was completed by an authorized dealer, or budget for a pre purchase survey that includes verification of ignition protection and ventilation compliance.
- For 1994 models with Mercury Sport 90 engines, confirm the ignition protection device meets ABYC standards, as non compliant devices pose fire risk in the engine compartment.
- On 2009 Bay Charger 22 foot models, verify the boat carries a valid USCG capacity certification label and that bilge ventilation ducting is properly installed and functional.
