CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED WARRANTY
Subject to the terms and conditions in this warranty, Cobalt Boats, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
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 workmanship under normal, non-racing and non-commercial use
for a period of (10) years from the date of delivery to the original retail purchaser.
Three (3) Year Limited Transferable Warranty on Gelcoat Finish, Upholstery, Canvas, 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, canvas, 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 workmanship under normal, non-racing
and non-commercial use for a period of three (3) years from the date of delivery of such Cobalt boat to the
original retail purchaser. Because local area operating conditions and customer care have an effect on
gelcoat finishes, the gelcoat finish warranty does not include (1) damage or deterioration (i.e.: fading,
oxidation, discoloration) due to in-water storage or improper care of the gelcoat surface; or (2) deterioration
(i.e.: fading, oxidation, discoloration) to the gelcoat finish of any Cobalt boat with colored (non-white) gelcoat
located below the static waterline.
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, deterioration (i.e.: fading, oxidation, corrosion) of surface finishes, vinyls, fabrics, aluminum and
stainless 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; (9) damage (i.e.: scratches, fading, oxidation, discoloration)
to the gelcoat finish; (10) deterioration (i.e.: fading, oxidation, discoloration) to the gelcoat finish of any
Cobalt boat with colored (non-white) gelcoat located below the static waterline; (11) damage or failure
related to alteration, modification, misuse, neglect, negligence, accident or failure to provide reasonable care
and maintenance of such Cobalt boat.
