Extended Warranty ?

[nightvision]

Hi all, <br />I'm in the process of buying a Sea Ray 180 Sport and have a couple questions:<br /><br />a. The dealer said the boat has a bow to stern warranty for two years. For $650 more, one can get an additional 3 three years of coverage.<br /><br />Is this warranty worth it in your opinion for a new boat?<br /><br />b. Also, are the starters on these boats made to be cracked numberous time on a day trip? I was figuring on doing some fishing and thus stop here, go there, all day long and having starting the engine up many times. Is this harmful for the engine?<br /><br />Thanks.

Re: Extended Warranty ?

Is it a dealer warranty or a third party warranty?<br /><br />Read the fine print, some 'add on' warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on.<br /><br />Look out for limited reinbursement for particular jobs such as motor replacement/rebuild. Also towing and recovery.<br /><br />A wet enviroment is hard on any electrical device, the starter will last a long time as long as it's maintained regularly.<br /><br />Aldo
