Extended Warranty 2016 VTX


afcase

Recommended Posts

Looking at a one owner 2016 vtx with 140hrs. Dealer has all service records and appears very clean. It is being sold at a non Malibu dealer.  
The boat was sold new July 2015 so the warranty (if I transferred it) would run out July 2020. 

They have also offered me a 3 yr extended warranty option  Brunswick Property protection either the passport or passport premiere.  Pricing as follows  

Passport premiere $4995 originally then they came back with an offer of $3995 for 3 years .  The passport was originally offered at $3995 for 3 years.  Which I would assume I could get discounted if I asked  based on the premiere  

They are also have offered  a $500 discount on the boat if I finance through the dealer.  

My question to the group is it worth the transfer fee for the Malibu warranty that runs out next summer?  Probably only 3-5 months after it gets back in the lake. Is there any parts of that warranty that are longer hull etc that would make the transfer a smart move?

Second what are your thoughts on extended warranties in general and this particular company and price vs others?  The boat is super  clean but the dash has the multiple screens and lots electronics not to mention the motor etc. 


My last boat was a 2004 with minimal electronics and no warranty. 
 

I would love some feedback and advice before I got to test and possibly purchase the boat. 
 

Thank you  

Frank

I wouldn't bother.  Boats are easy to work on.  Parts tend to be cheaper when you aren't stuck with MSRP prices from a single dealer.  4k (or more if you transferred the factory warranty) buys a LOT of parts...
