Fishing Holdings, LLC dba Ranger Boats (“Ranger”) warrants to you, the first North American retail

purchaser of this Ranger aluminum 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 aluminum 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 aluminum 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 aluminum 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 APPLICABLE LAW. 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:
External Structural Hull Welds: For the first North American retail purchaser, the limited warranty

period for Structural Hull Defects (defined below) in external structural hull welds 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 in the external structural hull welds runs for five (5) years from the

date the limited warranty period began to run for the first North American purchaser.
Internal Structural Hull Components (stringers, ribs, bulkheads and transom): The limited

warranty period for Structural Hull Defects in internal structural hull components runs for five (5) years.
A “Structural Hull Defect” shall mean a substantial defect in the aluminum boat hull’s external structural

welds or internal structural hull components (stringers, ribs, bulkheads and transom) which causes

the aluminum boat to be unfit or unsafe for general use as a pleasure craft under normal operating

conditions.

The limited warranty period runs for two (2) years for the following non-structural parts and

components:

1.  Carpet fade
2.  Steering helm, cylinder, hoses and cables

Exterior Cosmetic Painted Finish (Peeling or Fading) Of Aluminum Boats Limited Warranty: The

limited warranty period runs for two (2) years.
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 aluminum boat and/or trailer to the first North

American retail purchaser, provided that the aluminum 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 an aluminum 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 aluminum boat and/or trailer was delivered to that first

North American retail 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 $200

(made payable to your authorized aluminum dealer), which must be paid within fifteen (15) days of the

purchase, provided the second North American retail purchaser purchases the aluminum boat and/or

trailer from the original purchaser or an authorized Ranger aluminum 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 aluminum boat and/or trailer

that has been damaged, neglected or otherwise previously excluded from limited warranty coverage.
