What to check before you buy a used Fiberglass Works
- Cross reference your boat's HIN with the recall campaign numbers (951389S for Aries 160, 01R0312S for RAM models) to confirm whether your specific unit was affected.
- Request documentation from the seller proving the recall remedy was completed, or contact the manufacturer for remedy status by HIN.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect flotation foam integrity on any Aries 160 and ventilation systems on RAM 200 or RAM 2100 models, regardless of recall status.
- If the remedy was never completed, factor repair costs into your offer or walk away if safety critical components remain unaddressed.
