Fishing Holdings, LLC dba Ranger Boats (“Ranger”) warrants to you, the first North American retail
purchaser of this Ranger fiberglass boat and/or trailer, or a second North American retail purchaser
as noted below (“you”), that it will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, defects in materials or
workmanship that occur and are reported to Ranger, or its factory authorized fiberglass dealer, within
the applicable limited warranty periods, subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions set forth below.
Your acceptance of delivery of the warranted Ranger fiberglass boat and/or trailer constitutes your
acceptance of the terms of this limited warranty. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights
and you may have other rights which may vary from state to state.
This limited warranty is the sole and exclusive express warranty from Ranger regarding your
Ranger fiberglass boat and/or trailer and there are no express warranties which extend beyond
those outlined in this limited warranty. There are no implied warranties from Ranger, unless
otherwise required under applicable law, and ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE)
ARE EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED WHERE ALLOWED BY APPLICABLELAW. ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTIES (IF APPLICABLE) ARE LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM PERIOD OF TIME ALLOWED
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
Coverage Under This Limited Warranty:
Structural Hull Limited Warranty: For the first North American retail purchaser, the limited warranty
period for Structural Hull Defects (defined below) runs for the duration of their period of ownership.
For the second North American retail purchaser (if applicable), if properly transferred in compliance
with the transfer requirements set forth in this document, the limited warranty period for Structural Hull
Defects runs for ten (10) years from the date the limited warranty period began to run for the first North
American purchaser. The “Hull” shall mean the single fiberglass molded shell and integral structure
within that shell, including stringers, floorboards, transom and related structural reinforcements, all
of which are below the Hull flange (i.e. gunwale). A “Structural Hull Defect” shall mean a substantial
defect in the fiberglass boat’s Hull, which causes the fiberglass boat to be unfit or unsafe for general
use as a pleasure craft under normal operating conditions.
Non-Structural Parts And Components Limited Warranty
The limited warranty period runs for three (3) years for the following non-structural parts and
components:
1. Carpet fade
2. Steering helm, cylinder, hoses and cables
3. Aeration pumps, valves and timers
4. Bilge pump
5. Fiberglass boat electrical system
6. Seat pedestals
7. Fuel tanks
8. Deck hardware such as locks, cleats and fasteners
9. Factory installed battery charger(s)
10. Ranger Trail® trailer
The limited warranty period runs for one (1) year for the remaining non-structural parts and
components.
Exterior Cosmetic Gel Coat Limited Warranty: The limited warranty period runs for one (1) year for
cracking, crazing and fading of the fiberglass boat’s exterior cosmetic gel coat.
The applicable limited warranty period, for both the First and Second (if applicable) North American
retail purchasers runs from the date of delivery of the fiberglass boat and/or trailer to the first North
American retail purchaser, provided that the fiberglass boat and/or trailer is delivered to that first
North American retail purchaser within twenty-four (24) months from the date of its manufacture.
For a fiberglass boat and/or trailer delivered to that first North American retail purchaser more than
twenty-four (24) months after the date of its manufacture, the limited warranty period runs from the
date of its manufacture, not from the date the fiberglass boat and/or trailer was delivered to that first
North American purchaser. All limited warranties run concurrently.
This limited warranty extends only to the first North American retail purchaser. However, it may be
transferred to a second North American retail purchaser for a non-refundable recording fee of $100
(made payable to your authorized fiberglass dealer), which must be paid within fifteen (15) days of the
purchase, provided the second North American retail purchaser purchases the fiberglass boat and/or
trailer from the original purchaser or an authorized Ranger fiberglass dealer, and provided the transfer
occurs within five (5) years of the original retail sale to the First North American retail purchaser. Proof
of the purchase date is required. This limited warranty may only be transferred once. Ranger reserves
the right to reject a limited warranty transfer request for a Ranger fiberglass boat and/or trailer that has
been damaged, neglected or otherwise previously excluded from limited warranty coverage.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:
1. A fiberglass boat and/or trailer purchased from any party other than an authorized Ranger dealer
or the first North American retail purchaser.
2. A fiberglass boat and/or a trailer, including its components, that has been altered or modified

THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND ANY
APPLICABLE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AT RANGER’S SOLE
OPTION, OF WARRANTED PARTS AND COMPONENTS. RANGER EXCLUDES AND DISCLAIMS
ANY LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOSS OF
TIME, INCONVENIENCE, INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS, INSURANCE PAYMENTS, MARINA FEES,
RETAIL CHARGES, TRAVEL EXPENSES, LOSS OF USE, HAUL OUT, LAUNCH, TOWING AND/
OR STORAGE CHARGES, LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY OR OTHER
SIMILAR COSTS AND EXPENSES, OR ANY CLAIM NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED BY THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Any legal
action alleging breach of any applicable warranty coverage must be brought within one (1) year
from the date the alleged breach first occurred or the shortest period allowed under applicable
law, whichever is earlier.
In order to activate limited warranty coverage on their fiberglass boat and/or a trailer, the first
North American retail purchaser must warranty register the fiberglass boat and/or trailer through an
authorized Ranger fiberglass dealer via Ranger’s online dealer extranet, within fifteen (15) days of
delivery of the fiberglass boat and/or trailer. All information received by Ranger via the limited warranty
registration or transfer process shall be the property of Ranger, and submission of information, directly
or indirectly, via the limited warranty registration process shall, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, be deemed to constitute consent by the purchaser and fiberglass dealer to Ranger’s use of such
information at any time for all purposes allowed by law, including use of that information by third parties
selected by Ranger. You may opt to not have your personal information disclosed to third parties and/
or to not receive marketing materials from Ranger by sending a written request to: Ranger Boats
Warranty Department, PO Box 179, 927 Highway 178 North, Flippin, AR 72634. To obtain limited
warranty service, you must return the fiberglass boat and/or trailer, including any alleged defective
part, to an authorized Ranger fiberglass dealer. Ranger must receive written notice of all limited
warranty claims prior to the expiration of this limited warranty and be allowed an opportunity to resolve
them. The authorized Ranger fiberglass dealer will carry out the limited warranty procedures (e.g.
repairs, claims submissions to Ranger etc.) on the purchaser’s behalf. All limited warranty work must
be performed at an authorized Ranger fiberglass dealer, at the Ranger factory or at another repair
facility approved by Ranger. You are responsible for the expenses associated with transporting the
fiberglass boat and/or trailer to and from the repair facility.
