- Inspect the capacity plate for correct maximum weight and maximum persons ratings, ensuring it matches current USCG standards.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the recall remedy was completed, or contact a marine surveyor to verify capacity plate compliance.
- If the boat falls within the affected population and the remedy is unconfirmed, factor the cost of a capacity plate correction into your offer or walk away.
