Does the Federal Lemon Law cover used boats?
All new boats come with a warranty from the manufacturer and sometimes with warranties from other companies who made some of the equipment or parts installed on the boat. If it has a warranty, the federal lemon law covers it. Those warranties often say that the manufacturer will pay for parts and labor if your problem is one that is covered by their warranty. If you have problems with your boat, then generally the first thing you should do is go back to the selling dealer or an authorized repair shop so the problem can be diagnosed and fixed. However, if they are not able to correct the problem within a reasonable number of attempts or within a reasonable amount of time, then your vehicle may qualify for the federal lemon law remedies. Some states say that if your faith in the reliability has been shaken, even though repairs are done, then you may have a lemon boat. That means you could get paid damages or maybe even make the manufacturer take it back and refund your money.
