I have the option of buying 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 additional years of Mercury Warranty on my 496HO/XZ powerplants.

The boat is a 2003 37 Active Thunder. For those of you already interested in the boat, what might you like?

Seriously; I think I am going to go full tilt, 5 additional years, for a total of 6 from original installation/use. I think the only thing that would hurt me is if the only buyer I can find plans to rip out the powerplants. I appreciate your opinions.

Is it transferable???

As long as it's transferrable, a warrantied, turnkey boat is a great thing..

Yes, fully transferable.

Warranty is extremely important. I'm sure it has covered many a$$es many times. Ask Nort. His boat breaks all the time. And it being transferable... sounds good to me. It's a no brainier.


Hey NORDEE where you the dork that sent a Formula brochure to the house?

I want it for my own use as well. I planned for this when I purchased the boat. If someone drops that pair of 525EFIs that Philly is selling in my lap, well, that would be cats-ass; however, I just don't see myself really hopping up the boat.

I bought the five year warranties on our 500 EFI's and the XR's. I got a very good deal on the warranty and it has paid for itself a couple time over. So far I have replaced one motor and one drive all under warranty. I say it is well worth it.

If you have a good local Merc service shop you are in business. Very good at no squabble fix or replace.

The extended Merc Warranties are only as good as the dealer thats servicing them. My .02 cents. Ed

the coast of a drive or 2 would probably pay for it self .
