What to check before you buy a used Troller
- Decode the HIN to confirm the model year and check if the boat falls within the affected T 14 production runs from 1980 to 1981.
- Inspect the capacity plate for proper display of maximum weight, maximum persons, and horsepower ratings as required by USCG standards.
- Verify level flotation by checking for foam compartments and compliance with ABYC H 8 standards, especially on older T 14 hulls.
- Hire a marine surveyor to confirm all safety recalls were remedied and that flotation systems remain intact and effective.
