My previous boat had a "Limited Lifetime Warranty". Well, all fine and dandy, except that after 4 years, I paid 1/3 of a "Warranty" repair. If I had sold the boat prior to the repair, the new owner would have paid an even higher percentage. Lifteime Warranty is a perceived value that you are probably going to pay for up front, and will not be worth much when the boat is more than 5 yrs. old. And many warranties are not transferrable. I don't believe a second hand Ranger warranty is Lifetime. Read the fine print on any warranty. You'll learn alot.

They don't need to. Very well built hulls, that if there is a manufacturing issue, it is going to show up well before the 5 years is up. 100% transferrable, and non declining. And depending on what would actually happen to require any service, my experience is that Tuffy is totally committed to customer service. My last Tuffy was 11 years old when I wanted to sell it. I needed a bit of work done, and they kept the cost very low for me. Went above and beyond with the work performed, and the boat came out looking nearly new. I got premium dollar for that boat.
