What to check before you buy a used Splendor Boats
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check whether the boat falls within the affected production windows for campaigns 02R0259T or 06R1169S.
- Contact Splendor Boats or a dealer to verify remedy completion status by HIN, particularly for 240 Platinum units built in 2002 and POOR MAN'S BASS OUTBOARD BOAT models from 2006.
- Inspect the ventilation system and electrical wiring on 240 Platinum models for signs of the original defect or retrofit work related to campaign 02R0259T.
- Verify that capacity and certification labels are present and legible on POOR MAN'S BASS OUTBOARD BOAT models, as campaign 06R1169S required corrected placarding.
