What to check before you buy a used Sea Pro Boats
- Cross reference the HIN against the recall campaign numbers 940232T, 031017S, and 040139S to determine if your boat was affected.
- Request documentation from the seller proving that any applicable recall remedy was performed by an authorized dealer.
- If the boat is an SV 1700 CC or SV 1900 Bay Boat from the early 2000s, have a surveyor inspect the flotation system even if records show the recall was addressed.
- For boats with Mercury Sport 90 engines from the mid 1990s, verify that ignition protection devices meet current safety standards regardless of recall status.
