What to check before you buy a used Glastron Boat
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check if the boat falls within the 1980 O/B 192 production run affected by campaign 800072S.
- Inspect the certification label for compliance or evidence of remedy completion, especially on boats built between 1979 and 1981.
- Request maintenance records or prior survey reports that may document recall remedy work or label replacement.
- Include certification label integrity in your prepurchase survey checklist, as missing or altered labels can complicate registration or resale regardless of recall status.
