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.

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 Warranty Registration Form (https://www.criboats.com/owner-warranty-registration/) provided by Composite Research, Inc. must be within (30) thirty days after the original purchase date of the vessel. Reception 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.

Origin Date: Composite Research at it’s sole discretion shall reserve the right to reject any warranty repair, replacement, or defect of non-structural limited systems whereby the vessel has been delivered to a dealer and not sold for a period greater than 1 year from the original delivery date.

Composite Research warrants to the original retail purchaser of its product that Composite Research will correct or repair any air voids in the exterior gelcoat surface of the boat as a result of defects in materials or workmanship within one (1) year from the warranty commencement date provided that the original factory gelcoat surface has not been altered in any way:

1. Up to six (6) months from the warranty commencement date, Composite Research will pay 100% of the repair costs.
2. After six (6) months but up to one (1) year from the warranty commencement date, Composite Research will pay 50% of the repair costs.
3. After one (1) year from the warranty commencement date, Composite Research will pay 0% of the repair costs.

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.

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.
