Silverline Arctic Ent recalls
Silverline Arctic Ent boats have 1 recall campaign on record across 44 reported units. Below is every campaign, what it covers, and how to confirm a specific hull was fixed before you buy.
Silverline Arctic Ent has one recorded USCG recall campaign from October 1982 affecting 44 units of the GRENADA 15GTL model due to level flotation defects. Flotation systems are critical safety equipment that keep a swamped boat afloat, and failures can result in complete sinking. While this campaign is over 40 years old, any used GRENADA 15GTL from that era should be verified for remedy completion and flotation integrity during a prepurchase survey.

What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Silverline Arctic Ent
- Cross reference the boat's HIN with campaign 820128S to confirm whether the specific unit was part of the 44 affected boats
- Request documentation from the seller proving the flotation remedy was completed by an authorized facility if the boat was recalled
- Have a marine surveyor perform a flotation inspection including foam distribution, moisture intrusion, and compliance with current ABYC standards
- Walk away if the seller cannot prove remedy completion or if the survey reveals compromised flotation foam
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has Silverline Arctic Ent had?
Silverline Arctic Ent has one USCG recall on record, campaign 820128S from October 1982, affecting the GRENADA 15GTL model for level flotation defects.
What was wrong with the flotation system in the 1982 Silverline Arctic Ent recall?
The recall cited level flotation defects on 44 units of the GRENADA 15GTL. USCG level flotation standards require enough foam to keep a swamped boat floating upright with the waterline below the gunwale, and the affected boats failed to meet this requirement.
Should I worry about a 40 year old recall when buying a used Silverline Arctic Ent?
Yes if you are looking at a GRENADA 15GTL from the early 1980s. Flotation is not cosmetic; it determines whether a swamped boat sinks or stays afloat, and unrepaired defects remain a capsizing and drowning risk regardless of age.
How do I check if a specific Silverline Arctic Ent boat was part of the recall?
Decode the HIN to verify the model and manufacturing date, then cross reference with campaign 820128S which affected GRENADA 15GTL units built around 1982. A marine surveyor or the USCG recall database can help confirm eligibility.
