What to check before you buy a used Maycraft Fiberglass

  1. Cross reference the HIN of any 17 foot Maycraft skiff you are considering against USCG campaign 031014T to confirm whether it was included in the 9 affected units
  2. If the boat was part of the recall, request written proof from the seller that the horsepower remedy was completed per manufacturer specifications
  3. Have a marine surveyor verify that the current engine configuration matches the hull capacity plate and falls within safe operating limits
  4. Review the overall condition and maintenance history, as a 20 plus year old boat will have wear issues beyond any recall remedies
