What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Offshore Yacht
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check whether your hull falls within the affected production run.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the flotation stability remedy was completed by an authorized dealer or marine shop.
- Hire a qualified marine surveyor to inspect the hull for flotation foam condition and stability compliance, especially on pre 1996 Offshore 18 hulls.
- Contact the builder or a certified marine technician if remedy records are missing, as uncorrected flotation defects can compromise safety in swamped or flooded conditions.
