What to check before you buy a used Morley Cedar Canoes
- Look up the HIN of any used Morley Cedar Canoes rowboat against USCG recall campaign 06R1220S to confirm whether it was part of the 6 unit recall.
- If the boat is a 14 foot 6 inch rowboat manufactured around 2006, request documentation that the capacity label was corrected or replaced.
- Inspect the capacity plate yourself to ensure it displays clear, legible weight and person limits that match USCG standards.
- Factor the labeling recall into negotiations only if the remedy is unverified, as the issue itself is minor and easily resolved.
