I noticed a couple Eliminators for sale in the classified section and they are listed as MSO. What does MSO mean??? Thanks for helping the mentally challenged!!

It usually means Manufacturer statement of origion, meaning it has never been titled.

so if I bought a boat that was MSO would that mean it is new or just that if it has been used, it's never been registered?

I just wonder what the significance of MSO versus New versus Used is?????

The main advantage to buying a mso boat is it qualifies as a new boat. The intrest rate is usually significantly lower than on a used boat. They usually come with the new factory warrenty as the boat has never been registered to anyone. Later Joe

The financing should also be set up as a new boat as well. just keep in mind that it is however old the day you title it.

Thanks for the help everyone!!! Anyone want to lend me some money to help purchase a MSO boat now??? Thanks again!!!!

BE VERY Cautious with an MSO boat. A freind bought one that had a custom engine from a well known builder(at the time). When the engine blew after 10 hours the builder said no dice on warranty. Their warranty did not cover the boat after a certain time regardless of whether it was titled. Of course the dealer never mentioned this and it got very ugly.
