What to check before you buy a used Ritz Camera Boaters Marine
- Cross reference the HIN on any CONCEPT BOOMA 8 against USCG recall 031008T to confirm whether the boat was included in the 12 unit population.
- Request documentation from the seller proving the flotation and capacity plate remedy was completed, or inspect the boat for updated labeling that meets USCG standards.
- Have a marine surveyor verify current flotation integrity and that the capacity plate matches the boat's actual safe loading limits.
- If remedy status cannot be confirmed and the boat falls within the affected model and year range, factor repair cost or liability risk into your offer.
