Sea Hunt Boat Manufacturing Company, Inc. LIMITED WARRANTY
One-Year Limited Warranty
(a) SEA HUNT BOAT MFG. CO., INC. (SEA HUNT) warrants to the original purchaser
for a period of one year from the date of delivery to the original purchaser that each SEA
HUNT boat will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal recom-
mended use.
(b) During this one year period, warranty repairs will be made without charge by SEA
HUNT at it's plant in Columbia, SC or, at SEA HUNT's option, by an Authorized SEA HUNT
Marine Dealer. Transportation charges to and from the place of repair will be the responsi-
bility of the original purchaser. All repairs made under this warranty are subject to the ap-
proval of an Authorized SEA HUNT Representative.
(c) This One-Year Limited Warranty does not apply to carpet, upholstery, gelcoat fin-
ishes, osmosis, blisters, cracks, or crazing, or to equipment and accessories not manufac-
tured by SEA HUNT, including windshield, windshield breakage, engine or drive train, or
parts which have been altered or subjected to misuse or negligence, or to the achievement
of any particular level of performance.
(d) This One-Year Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser and may
not be transferred to subsequent purchasers.
Ten-Year Hull Limited Warranty
(a) SEA HUNT warrants to the original purchaser for a period of ten years from the
date of delivery to the original purchaser that each SEA HUNT boat will be free from de-
fects in material and workmanship under normal recommended use.
(b) SEA HUNT will repair or replace, at its option, any SEA HUNT hull found to have a
structural defect, provided the original purchaser returns the boat to SEA HUNT at its plant
in Columbia, SC, or, at SEA HUNT's option, by an Authorized SEA HUNT Marine Dealer.
Transportation charges to and from the place of repair will be the responsibility of the origi-
nal purchaser.
(c) This Ten-Year Hull Limited Warranty does not apply to non-structural hull surface
changes, such as fading, checking, crazing, blisters, and gelcoat cracks. Further, this war-
ranty also does not apply to hull damage caused by items not installed on the boat by SEA
HUNT, accidents, neglect, unauthorized repairs, or by the boat's trailer. This warranty also
does not apply to boats used for or in racing or for governmental, commercial or business
use.
