What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Discovery Marine
- Verify your boat's HIN against the 941299S campaign to confirm whether your specific unit was among the 5 affected DLX VOYAGER hulls.
- Check the capacity plate for proper port and starboard safe load markings, as the remedy likely involved corrected labeling.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the recall remedy was completed, or contact the current manufacturer successor if records exist.
- Factor the boat's age into your inspection, as 1990s era hulls require thorough survey regardless of recall status.
