What to check before you buy a used Hey Day
- Request the hull identification number (HIN) and cross reference it against USCG campaign 180009S to confirm whether your prospective boat was part of the affected population.
- Ask the seller for documentation proving the electrical and fuel system remedy was completed by an authorized service center.
- If the recall was not remedied, contact Hey Day or a qualified marine technician to assess whether the defect still poses a safety risk.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect the electrical and fuel systems during prepurchase survey, particularly if the boat is a 2018 or earlier WT SURF.
