My Bayliner dealer is offering additional warranties on the new 289
Classic Cruiser I am buying. Does anyone have any information on whether
these are a good thing to do? For example, the Premier coverage extends
engine coverage to 6 years and covers "wear & tear" and non-defective
failures. It costs $3,698 but they said I would get a significant refund
of that amount when I sell the boat or at the end of 6 years and I
haven't used the coverage.

Thanks!

For what it's worth ... my runabout (ok, an old beater) is covered under my
home policy for about $130/yr. That policy covered the replacement cost of a
lower unit ($3500 plus a bit minus $200 deductible). I myself don't buy
extended warranties ... 9 times out of 10 the "dealer" goes under, moves on.
Sounds to me like getaway money (just kidding) :-)

3hp dingy? No , Mercruiser Alpha ... lower unit ... the lower part of the
outdrive that's left inn your hands when you i.e. crack the outdrive to
install the impeller ... around $3500 cdn. Geez, what do you pay ($35,000?)
and where do you live?

South Carolina. $3500 cdn will buy you the relay that runs the pump
motor...(c; Geez, not only are drugs cheaper in Canada, but now BOAT
PARTS!

Can we be arrested for sneaking boat parts over the border, too?...(c;

Ok ... well anyway. My point, which really wasn't much of a point after all,
was that the boat's gonna need insurance, and depending on the policy, it
should cover most contingencies beyond regular wear and tear (warranty). So
was suggesting that "Helen David" look into insurance coverage, the cost,
coverage, etc and include that as a factor when deciding on that additional
warranty offered by the dealer.

To sum up, I know "absolutely nothing" about Bayliner additional warranties
:-)

Being in the insurance biz --and this is exactly an insurance policy--
they never lose money in the long run, and rarely in the short run.
