Fantasy Boats Inc has one recorded USCG safety recall from 1993, affecting 138 units of the F 13 model for a level flotation defect. The single campaign is over three decades old, but buyers of used F 13 models should verify the remedy was completed, as compromised flotation reduces survivability in a swamping or capsize. Fantasy Boats Inc's limited recall history suggests no pattern of systemic safety issues.

What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Fantasy Boats
- Decode the HIN and cross reference the year and model against recall campaign 930113S to confirm whether your prospect was included in the affected 138 units.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the flotation remedy was performed by an authorized dealer or that the boat was manufactured after the recall date.
- Commission a marine survey that includes a flotation test or foam inspection, especially if the F 13 was built in 1993 or earlier.
- If the recall was never remedied, negotiate a price reduction to cover the cost of a flotation upgrade or walk away if the seller cannot prove compliance.
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has Fantasy Boats Inc had?
Fantasy Boats Inc has one recorded USCG recall, campaign 930113S from June 1993, affecting the F 13 model for a level flotation defect. No other federal safety campaigns are on record.
Which Fantasy Boats Inc models were recalled?
Only the F 13 model was recalled in 1993 for level flotation. The campaign affected 138 units.
What does a level flotation recall mean for a used boat?
Level flotation keeps a swamped boat upright and at the surface. If the recall was never remedied, the foam may be inadequate or saturated, reducing the boat's ability to stay afloat in an emergency.
Should I avoid buying a used Fantasy Boats Inc because of this recall?
A single flotation recall from 1993 does not indicate a pattern of defects. Verify the remedy was completed, commission a survey, and proceed if the boat checks out structurally and mechanically.
