Subject: Considering Mercury Platinum Protection. Worth it?

Posts: 90

My warranty is expiring 3/12 and received an offer from Mercury to purchase the Platinum Plan. 1 year around 700.00, 2 years around 1000. Up to 5 years with $300.00 increase per year. I have a 90 h.p. Lund tiller with only 22 hours and there was an issue last fall that required an expensive repair that was warranted by Mercury. So I am considering taking the warranty out for two reasons. One is I’m covered if something goes wrong and two is resale value. I know the warranty doesn’t make the boat worth more but would give potential buyer peace of mind. I bought this boat last summer from an individual who didn’t use it much. I am considering selling it because it didn’t work out as well as I thought for the type of fishing I do.

I would like to hear opinions if this is a good direction to go.

Thanks
