What to check before you buy a used Smoker Craft
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check it against the affected model years and hull numbers in the recall campaigns above.
- Contact Smoker Craft or a dealer with the HIN to verify whether the boat was subject to a recall and whether the remedy was completed by a prior owner.
- Pay particular attention to the 2005 ignition switch recall (050007T) and the flotation recalls (19CG153S, 971546S, 980006S), as these affect safety critical systems.
- If the boat was recalled and no proof of remedy exists, factor the cost and time to complete the recall work into your offer or walk away.
