What to check before you buy a used Correct Craft
- Cross reference your hull identification number against all eight recall campaigns listed above to confirm whether your boat was included in any campaign.
- Request documentation from the seller proving that any applicable recall remedies were completed by an authorized dealer, particularly for fuel system and steering recalls.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect fuel tanks, lines, and gaskets for leaks or deterioration, especially on 1990s models where four separate fuel related campaigns were issued.
- Verify basic flotation integrity on 2003 Ski Nautique models, as 822 units were recalled for flotation defects that could affect buoyancy in a swamping scenario.
