The underwriting dept at Boat U.S. is sounding lukewarm of the idea that a dealer can 'recondition' a boat, value it, and then sell it. Too much of a conflict of interest. They are looking into Hunter's program to find out what their '160-point' inspection covers. This could be good business for new boat buyers that cannot afford a new yacht, and who are unsure of how the process works.A similiar system has been successful in the auto industry, but who knows?

...a dealer / manufacturer would be nuts not to have documentation of everything they 'certified', no? I think it's an interesting idea too, and as an aside, would help used Hunter resale generally, I would think. Rick D.

sounds like a long overdue practice for all
check out the link to see what it covers. No clue why BoatUS would not welcome such a program

Not surprising. Insurance underwriters and
boat sellers are at opposite sides of the issue. One tries to minimize value while the other tries to maximize it. I think a dealer certification program is a wonderful idea but do not expect the insurer to waive a requested survey on the strength of one such certificate. At least not for the time being.
