What to check before you buy a used Pisces Boat
- Decode the HIN on any Pisces boat to confirm the model year and check it against the 1980 SEA SKIFF flotation campaign.
- Request documentation from the seller showing the flotation remedy was completed, especially if the boat is a 15 foot SEA SKIFF from that era.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect flotation foam and buoyancy during the prepurchase survey, as older foam can degrade regardless of recall status.
- Contact the USCG Boating Safety Recall Database or a dealer with your HIN to confirm no open remedy if records are incomplete.
