Limited Warranty Statement

(NOTE: The MasterCraft Limited Warranty Statement was written to cover boats and/or trailers.)

1. Limited Warranty and Term. MasterCraft Boat Company, Inc. (“MasterCraft”) warrants to the original
retail purchaser that the following components of each new boat shall be free from material defects
in materials and workmanship to the extent set forth below, under normal use and when operated
and maintained in accordance with MasterCraft’s instructions, for the period indicated:

1.1 Deck, Hull, Liner and Stringers. From the date of the original retail purchase, the deck, hull,

liner and stringer system (collectively, “Structural Components”) is warranted for as long as the
original purchaser owns the boat.

1.2 Gel Coat. Because environmental operating conditions and customer maintenance/care

considerations are factors which have a significant effect on the condition and the durability of the
gel coat which is applied to all MasterCraft boats at the factory, MasterCraft does not provide, and
hereby expressly disclaims, any warranty on the gel coat covering the exterior surfaces of the boat.
Therefore, cosmetic issues relating to the appearance of the gel coat such as blisters, scratches,
discoloration or fading are not covered by this Limited Warranty. However, in the event that the gel
coat is materially damaged due to a covered defect to the boat’s Structural Components, the damage
to the gel coat will be covered under this Limited Warranty in connection with the warranty repair
under Section 1.1 hereof. Any material defects in the gel coat which are determined by MasterCraft,
in its sole discretion, to have been caused by the application/installation of the gel coat at the factory,
will be covered under this Limited Warranty. Stress crazing/cracking of the gel coat is considered a
cosmetic issue, and therefore, is not covered under this Limited Warranty, but will be reviewed on
a case-by-case basis as a matter of customer good will. All communications regarding any issues
relating to gel coat should be addressed first to the Customer Services Representative at the
MasterCraft authorized Dealership prior to communication with MasterCraft. Review of any gel coat
issues by MasterCraft will require digital or 35 mm photos or video images which clearly show the
alleged conditions.

1.3

Other Component Parts (Excluding Engine and Transmission). One (1) year from the date

of the original retail purchase of the boat or the initial use of the boat, whichever first occurs.

1.4

Trailer and Trailer Component Parts. One (1) year from the date of the original retail

purchase of the boat or the initial use of the boat, whichever first occurs.

2.

Engine and Transmission. The engines used in MasterCraft boats are supplied by Indmar Products

Company, Inc., in Millington, Tennessee (“Indmar”). Indmar provides a separate warranty of three
(3) years from the date of the original retail purchase of the boat or the initial use of the boat,
whichever first occurs for the engine and transmission (the “Indmar Power Train Warranty”). A
statement of the Indmar Power Train Warranty is provided separately to the original retail purchaser.
MasterCraft provides no independent warranty with regard to the engine and transmission; however,
the owner may contact MasterCraft at the address or telephone number listed in Section 7 below to
obtain contact information for making claims or inquiries under the Indmar Power Train Warranty.

3.

Warranty Conditions, Limitations and Exclusions. MasterCraft boats are manufactured by trained

craftsmen from high-quality materials and components. However, conditions outside MasterCraft’s
control require specific limitations on, and exclusions from, coverage under this warranty. The
Limited Warranty on the Structural Components set forth in Section 1(a) above does not cover or
include any other components fastened or applied to the hull or deck. This Limited Warranty constitutes
the final, complete and exclusive statement of warranty terms, and no other person or entity is
authorized to make any other warranties or representations on behalf of MasterCraft. Furthermore,
the Limited Warranty set forth in Section 1 (including all subsections) hereof does not cover the
following:
