Sea Boss recalls
Sea Boss boats have 1 recall campaign on record across 294 reported units. Below is every campaign, what it covers, and how to confirm a specific hull was fixed before you buy.
Sea Boss LLC has one recorded USCG recall campaign affecting 294 units of the 180 CC model. The June 2004 campaign (03V020S) addressed safe loading maximum weight placards, a critical safety specification for proper boat operation. Given the age of this campaign, most affected boats likely received the corrected placard, but verification is essential for any 180 CC built during that period.
