Once you have decided that you are in the market for a used boat, it is time to do your homework. If you find a particular used boat that strikes your fancy, you will want to do a thorough history check of the watercraft. The U.S. Coast Guard can tell you if the particular make of the used boat you're interested in has ever been recalled by the manufacturer.
