What to check before you buy a used Sea N Sport Boat
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check whether it falls within the affected production periods for campaigns 920305S or 920544S.
- Request documentation from the seller proving the flotation and horsepower defects were remedied by an authorized dealer or the manufacturer.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect the flotation chambers and verify the horsepower rating matches the capacity plate during the prepurchase survey.
- Contact the USCG Recall Hotline or check the USCG recall database with the HIN to confirm whether any open campaigns remain.
Frequently asked questions
What models are affected by Sea N Sport Boat Co recalls?
The 160 GULL WING (100 units, April 1992) and the 15,93 SKINNY WATER 16 (6 units, October 1993) are the only models with documented USCG recalls.
What were the defects in the Sea N Sport Boat Co recalls?
Both campaigns addressed level flotation stability failures and horsepower overrating, which could compromise buoyancy in a swamping scenario and allow unsafe engine configurations.
How do I know if my Sea N Sport boat was recalled?
Check your HIN against USCG campaigns 920305S and 920544S. If your boat is a 160 GULL WING built before April 1992 or a 15,93 SKINNY WATER 16 built before October 1993, verify remedy completion with documentation.
Are Sea N Sport Boat Co recalls a dealbreaker for used buyers?
Not if the remedy was completed. Confirm repair documentation and have a surveyor verify flotation integrity and horsepower compliance before closing.
