Warranties on hulls?
 

Who has the best warranty program? BH

I would have to say Pantera...Lifetime to original owner

Another vote for Pantera
Lifetime warranty on hull and deck to original owner even if you race it

I believe Active Thunder matches that.

"The 2004 Active Thunder hull and deck warranty is simple: You purchase our boat and we will stand behind it for as long as you own it, period. That means you do whatever you want, just have fun and be safe, and don't worry...it's a LIFETIME WARRANTY."


Sonic and Donzi go 5 years.

The only pleasure boat that offers lifetime is Regal. Any hi-perf that does would be outstanding. But none will cover gel coat, structural only.

What is Outer Limits / Skater's programs? BH

Baja... Modified 5 years:

Outerlimits is "Limited lifetime hull warranty to original owner." Doesn't say what they mean by limited, though.

Would Pantera cover transom degredation?

Cigarette is (1) year. I always had a hard time trying to sell a $ 300,000 boat and tell the customer this. BH

pantera encourages you to race your boat. the warranty will cover your boat even if you race it. most companies will not cover your boat if you race it. gotta love pantera for encouraging the sport.

Wow way Cool Pantera ;I did not know that!! They obviously believe in their product very strongly and that shows it!! :)

I had a "minor" hull waranty issue with Saber right at the 5 year mark (they offer 5 years) give or take a couple months and they stood behind it 100% !!!

brian,

pantera is the only company that offers lifetime race or pleasure, outerlimits is lifetime, and i believe active thunder. many companys do five. reggie does three. i can't believe cig only does one. that's outright horrible.

Brian,
Now that you brought it up, what is the warranty on the Joker Boats? Just curious.

Pantera is first that comes to mind. But, I think Active Thunder has the same also.

Black Thunder is officially 5 years but Bob Jenkins told me once that if I could break it he would fix it.

Ah the ways I can figure out how to promote myself - haha. I tell my guy's to go and run the crap out of it and I bet ya can't break it. I'll warranty the hull for life but not blisters in gelcoat. I just did a repair job on a boat I didn't even build (it was the same hull design but a Prototype) and didn't charge the guy. He had never inspected the bottom and knocked a big chunk out of the gelcoat down to the coring. He kept running it and some delam occured. We cut out the coring and layered bi-axial / vinylester. She's better than new. I stand behind those who stand behind me! BH

Thanks Brian. Have you built any more 28's? I'm looking forward to seeing "High Priority" race in St. Pete!

Yea Warren & Mack will be looking good. They are what makes small companies like mine succeed. They got a once and a lifetime deal on a very awesome boat - good for them! To see what they have done to get that boat rigged and going is worth more than money to me. I've got a couple of deals going now on new boats , we'll see what happens. I feel my product speaks for itself! BH
