What to check before you buy a used Holady Bros
- Decode the HIN to confirm your boat's manufacturing date and check whether it falls within the 1980 recall window.
- Inspect the fuel system for a functioning anti siphon valve or device, particularly on older hulls built before 1981.
- Request documentation from the seller showing that any applicable recalls were remedied, or have a surveyor verify fuel system safety compliance.
- Cross reference the hull identification number with USCG records to confirm no open safety campaigns apply to your specific unit.
