Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | This is an issue that is missed by most consumers when they buy a boat. If the rig needs warranty, most boat builders require the boat is brought to the warranty center or factory by the consumer; it's the responsibility of the owner to get the rig there and pick it up under most warranties I have seen. If the factory is offering to defray some of that cost, accept it graciously and go get your rig.
In some cases, a dealer can help IF a shipment is due in so he can get your boat back to the builder, AND if another is due about the time your rig is ready to be picked up. Otherwise, yes, you can leave the boat with a dealer for transport, but the wait is not worth it most times.
Read the warranty to see what is required. |
