What to check before you buy a used Brp
- Check the HIN against USCG recall lookup to confirm whether the boat was included in campaign 150020T or 190054T
- Request documented proof of remedy completion from the seller, particularly for ICON, ICON II, LEGACY, XT, LT, or X PLODE models
- Have a marine surveyor inspect for hull cracks on models built around 2019, even if remedied
- Avoid boats with unresolved shift and throttle defects, as control failures create immediate safety risks
