What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Eagle Boats
- Cross reference the HIN of any used Eagle 138 Skiff against USCG recall 991629S to confirm whether that specific hull was the affected unit.
- Request documentation proving the flotation remedy was completed if the boat matches the recall campaign.
- Verify current flotation integrity through a marine survey, regardless of recall status, as foam can degrade over decades.
- Check the HIN manufacturing date; boats built after June 2001 were produced after the recall and should not carry the original defect.
Frequently asked questions
How many boat recalls has Eagle Boats Inc had?
Eagle Boats Inc has one USCG safety recall on record, campaign 991629S issued in June 2001 for a flotation deficiency in the 138 Skiff model.
What was wrong with the recalled Eagle boats?
The recall addressed level flotation noncompliance, meaning the foam flotation did not meet Coast Guard standards for keeping the swamped boat level and preventing sinking.
Which Eagle boat models were recalled?
Only the Eagle 138 Skiff was subject to the 2001 recall, and the campaign affected just one unit rather than the entire model line.
Should I avoid buying a used Eagle Boats Inc boat?
A single unit recall from 2001 does not indicate widespread quality issues. Verify the specific HIN against the recall database and prioritize a hull survey to assess current condition independent of recall history.
