When investing in a premium vessel like a Sportsman Boat, peace of mind comes in the form of a transferable hull warranty. For both original and future owners, one of the most appealing aspects of Sportsman’s warranty program is its transferability, a feature that adds long-term value and confidence for buyers in the resale market.

What’s Covered Under the Sportsman Boats Warranty?

Sportsman Boats are known for their quality craftsmanship and reliability. Their warranty coverage typically includes:

• 10-Year Catastrophic Hull Warranty

• 3-Year Limited Component Warranty

• 1 Time Hull Warranty Transfer to a Second Owner

Not only does this warranty provide long-term coverage for the original owner, but it also extends valuable protection to a second owner.

One-Time Transfer: What It Means

Sportsman allows for a one-time transfer of the warranty to a second owner. This means if the original owner decides to sell the boat, the next buyer can take advantage of the remaining warranty coverage, adding significant resale value and peace of mind.

However, the warranty can only be transferred once. If the second owner decides to sell the boat again, the warranty does not transfer to a third owner.

How to Transfer the Hull Warranty

To officially transfer the warranty to the second owner, Sportsman Boats typically requires:

• A Copy of Your Bill of Sale

• The New Customers Contact Info Emailed to Marketing or Customer Service

• Submission Within a Certain Timeframe after purchase (usually within 30 days)

It’s essential for the second owner to complete this process promptly to ensure full coverage under the warranty terms.

Why This Matters

The ability to transfer a warranty is a strong selling point in the pre-owned boat market. Buyers are more likely to consider a used Sportsman Boat knowing they’ll have continued protection. For sellers, it’s a way to enhance the boat’s value and marketability.

Whether you're buying new or used, Sportsman’s one-time transferable warranty is a standout feature that reinforces the brand’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Just make sure to handle the transfer process properly and within the required time window. If you’re considering buying or selling a Sportsman Boat, don’t overlook this valuable benefit—it could make all the difference.
