What to check before you buy a used Aqua Force
- Locate the hull identification number (HIN) on the transom and confirm whether the boat is an AQUA 160 built around 1992.
- Check the capacity plate for correct maximum person capacity and weight limits, and verify level flotation certification markings are present.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the recall remedy was performed, or contact the Coast Guard Recall Database to verify completion by HIN.
- If the recall was never remedied, factor the cost of replacement capacity plate and flotation verification into your offer or walk away.
