Subject to the terms and conditions in this warranty, Fiberglass Engineering, Incorporated, a Kansas
corporation doing business as Cobalt Boats (“Cobalt”), warrants to the original retail purchaser (and any
subsequent owner) of a new Cobalt boat purchased from an authorized Cobalt dealer for personal,
non-racing and non-commercial use (“Owner”), as follows:
Ten (10) Year Limited Transferable Warranty on Hull and Deck.
Cobalt warrants that the hull and deck
including floor, stringers, bulkheads, motor mounts, transom and deck/hull joints of a new Cobalt boat are
free from structural defects in material and manufacture under normal, non-racing and non-commercial use
for a period of ten (10) years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser.
Two (2) Year Limited Transferable Warranty on Gelcoat Finish, Upholstery, Components Not
Separately Warranted by the Manufacturer and All Components Manufactured by Cobalt Other Than
the Hull and Deck.
Cobalt warrants that the gelcoat finish, upholstery, components not separately
warranted by the manufacturers thereof and all components manufactured by Cobalt with respect to a new
Cobalt boat are free from structural defects in material and manufacture under normal, non-racing and
non-commercial use for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery of such Cobalt boat to the original
retail purchaser.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE ABOVE LIMITED EXPRESS
WARRANTIES. IN THE EVENT ANY LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE DISCLAIMER OF ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY, THEN IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXTEND
BEYOND THE DURATION OF THESE EXPRESS WRITTEN WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not
apply to you.
Exclusions
. The above described limited warranties do not apply if such Cobalt boat has been used at any
time commercially, industrially, for racing or other competition or for revenue producing purposes, and also
do not apply to: (1) engines, outdrives, propellers, controls, batteries, or other equipment or accessories
which are separately warranted by the manufacturers thereof; (2) engines, outdrives, propellers, controls,
trailers, equipment or accessories installed by persons or parties other than Cobalt or an authorized Cobalt
dealer; (3) windshield leakage, rainwater leakage, windshield or window damage or breakage; (4)
deterioration or damage, fading or shrinkage of upholstery, carpet or canvas; (5) damage related to the
alteration or modification of such Cobalt boat with any structurally affecting addition, component or
accessory not specifically in accordance with Cobalt’s specifications or offered as an option by Cobalt; (6)
damage or deterioration of gelcoat or other surface finishes, vinyls, fabrics, steel and steel finishes; (7)
damage or failures caused by operation of the Cobalt boat outside of the maximum horsepower
specifications recommended by Cobalt; (8) damage or failure related to repairs made by any service
provider not approved by Cobalt; and (9) damage or failure related to alteration, modification, misuse,
neglect, negligence, accident or failure to provide reasonable care and maintenance of such Cobalt boat.
Remedies
. During the applicable limited warranty period, as set forth above, covered warranty repairs shall
be made without charge by an authorized Cobalt dealer or, at the option of Cobalt, by Cobalt at its plant in
Vonore, Tennessee, or at a facility specifically authorized by Cobalt. All warranty repairs shall be subject to
the authorization of factory-trained personnel of Cobalt, whose decision shall be final. Transportation to and
from an authorized Cobalt dealer, and/or to and from the Cobalt plant in Vonore, Tennessee, for warranty
repairs, shall be at Owner’s expense. Repair of blisters, when authorized by Cobalt, are covered by this
warranty, provided the original factory gelcoat surface has not been altered in any way.
