Angler Boat Corporations'
Lifetime Warranty is Very Misleading

On the link below you will see that the Angler Boat Corporation speaks about a warranty and they stake their
reputation on it. But there is no warranty page on Anglers website.

"Quote from Angler Boat Corporation Website"

"Then, the latest HF+ (high flex plus) gelcoat is applied to the completed mold. This gelcoat provides a finish that will be free from the stress cracks that can appear as a fiberglass boat ages."

The quote above (as of 5-27-2004) is from Anglers website.

 

Now look at their warranty:

As seen on the Angler Website

Is it just me
or is there some inconsistency here?

A Real Angler Warranty
angler boat corporations lifetime hull warranty

1. There goes your resale value!
2. Garrett (Angler's Manager) says there is no such thing as a flawless boat?
3. I guess that works out fine if you live in Miami!
4. This is another way Angler keeps its' customers at bay.
5. I wonder why their gelcoat isn't covered? Their website says its flexcoat doesn't crack.
6. Here is some corporate double-talk best understood by Anglers Legal Department?
7. If you have a problem with anything besides the hull of the boat...You fix it?

It means you as the 1st buyer have a limited warranty.
But if you sell your angler boat the new buyer has nothing.
(How is that for resale value?)

The warranty the original buyer has is very limited, so much so,
that Angler can claim any abuse and get out of their obligations to fix your angler boat. (See above)

Although the warranty "insinuation" is well displayed on Anglers website and the back of their boats,
unless you buy an Angler Boat it's likely you won’t ever see the warranty.
It’s not displayed on Anglers' website. So take a close look at this one!

Should repairs be necessary, the buyer must, at his own cost, ship the boat back to Miami, FL.
This is in most cases is prohibitive to the repairs needed. So in my opinion you have no warranty
with the Angler Boat Corporation.

You should also note, the Angler Boat Warranty specifically states it does not cover their gelcoat
– and they DO have a problem with gelcoat peeling and cracking off!
You will also see the exclusion of all other parts of the boat.
