What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Garwood Boat
- Cross reference the hull identification number against USCG campaign 05R0796s to confirm whether the boat was among the 2 affected Speedster units
- Inspect the ventilation system for proper ducting, blower operation, and compliance with ABYC H 33 standards, since ventilation defects can create explosion risk in enclosed engine spaces
- Verify the hull ID number is properly affixed, legible, and matches Coast Guard format requirements, as noncompliant HINs complicate title transfer and registration
- Request written proof from the seller that any applicable recall remedy was completed by an authorized dealer or qualified marine technician
