What to check before you buy a used Dragonfly Boatworks
- Request the hull identification number and cross reference it against both recall campaigns 18CG141S and 10R3992S to confirm whether the boat was included.
- If the boat was subject to either recall, demand written proof from the seller that the manufacturer completed the remedy, including updated capacity plates or corrected horsepower documentation.
- For Marsh Hen models built around 2019 or earlier, physically inspect the capacity plate to verify it matches USCG safe loading standards and was not left uncorrected.
- Contact Dragonfly Boatworks directly with the HIN to verify recall status and remedy completion before finalizing the purchase.
