7-YEAR STRUCTURAL AND HULL FIBERGLASS WARRANTY
This limited warranty applies to all boats produced by Evolution Boats beginning with model year 2023.
LIMITED LIFETIME STRUCTURAL HULL WARRANTY: Evolution Boats warrants to the original retail purchaser of this boat if purchased from an authorized Evolution Boats dealer that the selling dealer or Evolution Boats will repair or replace the fiberglass hull if it is found to be structurally defective in material or workmanship for a period of seven (7) years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser. For purposes of this warranty, the hull is defined as the single fiberglass casting which rests on the water. This limited warranty is subject to all limitations and conditions explained below.
SEVEN-YEAR TRANSFERABLE LIMITED STRUCTURAL HULL WARRANTY: In addition to the seven-year limited lifetime structural hull warranty, Evolution Boats offers a one-time transferable seven-year structural hull warranty to a second owner only. The selling dealer or Evolution Boats will repair or replace the fiberglass hull if it is found to be structurally defective in material or workmanship within the first ten (7) years after the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser. The remaining term of this one-time ten-year limited structural hull warranty may be transferred to a second owner if, within sixty (60) days of purchase, the new owner registers the transfer with Evolution Boats and pays the established warranty transfer fee.
