What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Brunswick Marine Power
- Cross reference the hull identification number (HIN) against campaign 930048T to confirm whether your boat was in the affected production batch.
- Request documentation from the seller proving the flotation remedy was completed by an authorized service center.
- Commission a marine survey that specifically inspects flotation foam condition and placement, especially if the boat is a Spectrum 16 from the early 1990s.
- Test flotation integrity in shallow water or request a stability assessment if remedy status cannot be verified.

A single recall from 1993 is not a reason to avoid the brand outright. Focus your inspection on flotation condition if the boat is a Spectrum 16 from that era, and verify remedy completion through the HIN.
