Except where a Composite Research Boat has been salvaged and resold or resold after a declaration of a total loss or a constructive total loss, the Ten‐Year Hull Limited Warranty is transferable to a single subsequent owner (i.e., the second owner) of the Composite Research Boat, PROVIDED SUCH SUBSEQUENT OWNER COMPLETES AND SUBMITS TO COMPOSITE RESEARCH WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF ACQUIRING THE COMPOSITE RESEARCH BOAT A COMPOSITE RESEARCH WARRANTY TRANSFER FORM (AVAILABLE FROM COMPOSITE RESEARCH ON REQUEST) WITH (A) A LEGIBLE COPY OF THE BILL OF SALE, TITLE, OR REGISTRATION TO DEMONSTRATE OWNERSHIP OF THE BOAT AND (B) A CHECK OR MONEY ORDER PAYABLE TO COMPOSITE RESEARCH FOR THE TRANSFER FEE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSFER.

Composite Research warrants some fiberglass small parts of your boat for a period of 36 months or 300 hours, whichever comes first. This warranty covers any repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of some fiberglass small parts and components such as Consoles, Skiff Ring Caps or Liners of each new boat supplied by Composite Research, Inc. except for the exclusions or items listed under the caption “What is not Covered” or as indicated below.

This Limited Warranty applies to any Nonstructural Defect (as that term is defined below) if such is due to a failure in material or workmanship and the same was reported to Composite Research according to the terms of this Limited Warranty within one (1) year from the date of the sale to the original purchaser of the Composite Research Boat by a Composite Research authorized dealer. Composite Research, in its sole discretion, will either repair or replace the defective component. For purposes of this Limited Warranty, the term “Nonstructural Defect” shall mean a substantial defect in a Composite Research Boat’s components manufactured or installed by Composite Research (other than the Hull) that is not excluded in the Exclusions below. Composite Research warrants Fiberglass Lids, Plastic Lids, Electrical Panels, Bilge Pumps, Aerator Pumps or other Electrical Devices (excluding Stereos, Depth Finders, Radar, Chart Plotters except for installation if installed by CRI), Steering Systems, Electrical Panels, and Pumps of your boat supplied by Composite Research, Inc., for a period of 12 months or 100 hours, whichever comes first. Engine Controls, Cables, Harnesses or Switches, and Engine brand Gauges are warrantied by their respective manufacturer. You may have longer warranties for Engine Controls, Cables, Harnesses or Key Switches, and Engine Brand Gauges thru the engine manufacturer. Stereos, Electronics, Chart Plotters, Radar and other similar devices are warrantied by their respective manufacturers and are explicitly excluded from any warranty by CRI) This warranty covers parts and labor only needed for repair to correct defects in materials or workmanship of each new Composite Research, Inc. boat supplied by Composite Research, Inc. except for the exclusions or items listed under the caption “What is not covered” or as indicated below.

No part of this warranty covers or implies coverage for loss of use.

To validate this warranty, the Hull Warranty Registration must be returned to Composite Research, Inc. within (30) thirty days after the original purchase date of Hull. Return of the warranty registration card is a condition precedent to this warranty.

We warrant the boat hull and bottom construction for a period of One Hundred Twenty (120) months from date of original purchase, except as noted below, against “delamination” or separation CAUSED BY MANUFACTURER’S DEFECT (see definition of “delamination” for more specific information), providing that the integrity of the hull or floor has not been broken (such as with impact damage) or has been worn through.

For the purposes of the definition of delamination as it relates to this limited warranty will be defined as follows: In the case of hull delamination between the deck and the outer hull, where the delamination is due to a manufacturer’s defect in the lamination of the internal stringer system, the outer and inner hull will remain intact while the hull and or deck of the boat becomes soft. At this stage, prior to any actual destruction of the outer hull laminate, considerable movement of the deck is observed while underway and/or by walking on the delaminated area. This is a warrantable manufacturer’s defect, If the outer hull is damaged or broken in any way first, by impact damage ( caused by striking objects in the water, running the boat aground, improper trailering, etc…) and the outer hull is not properly repaired, continued use of the boat will result in water being forced into the break and the hull will fail or delaminate. This is not a warrantable hull failure, as the problem was caused by operator negligence when the operator damaged the hull and failed to repair the damage and continued to operate the boat. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to inspect his boat hull for damaged or impacted areas. Continued use of a boat with un‐repaired hull damage will result in delamination and separation of the outer hull due to hydrostatic pressure. This form of delamination is not the result of a manufacturer’s defect, therefore, this damage is not covered by the limited warranty. Note: Any damage to Exterior or Interior Gel coat including un‐sealed small part attachment screws will allow water to permeate the underlying laminate. Subsequent use of the Boat with damaged, cracked or missing Gel coat could cause the underlying laminate to fail due to hydrostatic action and/or pressure. Damage caused by failure to repair and maintain the Gel coat surfaces of the boat could cause further damage to the Boat including delamination of the Hull. Continued operation of the Boat with damage to the Gel coat will void this warranty.

This Limited Warranty does not apply to any boat that has been salvaged or declared a total loss or constructive total loss for any reason not specifically covered in this Limited Warranty. In addition, this Limited Warranty does not apply to the following “Exclusions”:

1. A Hull, component, or other product that has been repaired without authorization of Composite Research or that has been altered in any way that affects its use and operation;

All implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose are limited to the duration of this express written limited warranty and totally excluded thereafter. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties so the foregoing may not apply to you.

Composite Research shall not be responsible for any incident or consequential damages of any sort or nature including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, loss of use, time, or income. Some states do not allow the exclusions of damages so the foregoing may not apply to you.

The remedy available under this Limited Warranty is non‐cumulative in nature and is limited to repair or replacement, at Composite Research sole option, of the boat hull which is returned to a location approved by Composite Research, and which it’s examination discloses to its satisfaction to be defective. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may have other rights that vary from state‐to‐state.

Composite Research reserves the right to change the design of any boat without obligation to modify any boat previously manufactured. This warranty constitutes the entire agreement between Composite Research and the owner. Composite Research does not assure nor authorize any person other than its corporate officers to assure any obligation on its behalf.

THE REMEDY OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS OR MATERIALS THAT ARE FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE IN FACTORY MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP COVERED BY THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL CONSTITUTE THE OWNER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST COMPOSITE RESEARCH FOR ANY CLAIMS WHATSOEVER OF ECONOMIC LOSS RESULTING FROM PRODUCT FAILURE. Composite Research reserves the right to utilize reconditioned, refurbished, repaired, or remanufactured products or parts in the warranty repair or replacement process. Such products and parts will be comparable in function and performance to an original product or part and warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period.

Any action for rescission or revocation against Composite Research shall be barred unless it is commenced within one (1) year from the date of accrual of such cause of action. This provision does not grant any consumer a right of rescission or revocation against Composite Research, where such right does not otherwise exist under applicable law. Some states may not allow the applicable statute of limitations for rescission or revocation to be reduced, so this provision may not apply to each retail owner.
