What to check before you buy a used Mckee Craft
- Cross reference the HIN against both recall campaigns to confirm whether your hull was included in the affected serial ranges.
- Request documentary proof that the remedy was completed, either from the seller or by contacting Mckee Craft or the original selling dealer.
- On any 2006 to 2008 model, inspect the fuel fill fitting for cracks or stress fractures even if the hull was not in the recall population.
- Have a marine surveyor verify capacity plate accuracy on older Waccamaw models and check for fuel system integrity on all pre owned Mckee Craft boats.
