I have the option of buying 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 additional years of Mercury Warranty on my 496HO/XZ powerplants.
The boat is a 2003 37 Active Thunder. For those of you already interested in the boat, what might you like?![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Seriously; I think I am going to go full tilt, 5 additional years, for a total of 6 from original installation/use. I think the only thing that would hurt me is if the only buyer I can find plans to rip out the powerplants. I appreciate your opinions.

Yes, fully transferable.

Warranty is extremely important. I'm sure it has covered many a$$es many times. Ask Nort. His boat breaks all the time. And it being transferable... sounds good to me. It's a no brainier.
Hey NORDEE where you the dork that sent a Formula brochure to the house?

I want it for my own use as well. I planned for this when I purchased the boat. If someone drops that pair of 525EFIs that Philly is selling in my lap, well, that would be cats-ass; however, I just don't see myself really hopping up the boat.

I bought the five year warranties on our 500 EFI's and the XR's. I got a very good deal on the warranty and it has paid for itself a couple time over. So far I have replaced one motor and one drive all under warranty. I say it is well worth it.
