ALL 2017‘s were eligible for the 10 year warranty…however it was a transition year. So…from the dealership it came with the 7 year warranty, and you HAD TO register your boat through this forum (not kidding) to get the additional 3 years added on. Either in later 2017, or with the 2018 year the 10 year warranty was baked in from the start.Jack -- I'm the second owner of a 2017 model year boat. I checked with the dealer soon after I bought it. Mine is not covered by the 10 year warranty. I think mine was delivered in Aug 2016 so perhaps some later 2017 model year boats are covered. I just know mine isn't.
That’s exquisite timing right there my friend. Ha, ha!Hey ,Jeff we were posting at the same time
As I said, my 2017 model year boat delivered in 2016. (Late in the summer, I believe.) Maybe the 10 year warranty started mid model year or maybe Jan 1, 2017. All I know is I mine is not covered.

I know this in detail because, for reference, we ordered our 2017 in late 2016. Delivered Feb of 2017. I had to register it via Club Bennington to get my additional 3 years to go from 7 to 10. Fortunately my dealer made a big deal about me registering through Club Bennington to get that additional 3 years. Had they not prompted me to do so, I would have had no idea and missed out on that additional three years.
Could be that Jan 1 date. That said, you had to separately register your boat through the forum. Being a member already wouldn’t have done it. There was like a link/form/thing…. But, as you said, it could have been a calendar year type change too.As I said, my 2017 model year boat delivered in 2016. (Late in the summer, I believe.)

I need to correct myself...I came across a note I made to myself in my maintenance log. On 10/4/2022 I wrote, "transferred warranty - deck and structure only - good through 9/27/2026."Could be that Jan 1 date. That said, you had to separately register your boat through the forum.

You could network with your closest Bennington dealer so they can check for you, or reach out directly to Bennington, to check on warranty status details. Based on your note, I am thinking you transferred it and are all set with bow to stern 10 year, and normal Bennington lifetime structural. However, given the ambiguity, it might be worth just reaching out and verifying.I need to correct myself...I came across a note I made to myself in my maintenance log.

Deck and structure only? I don't recall anyone on here talking about a limited 10 year warranty. I thought it was stem to stern and included all factory installed options. The good news is it sounds like the most important and expensive parts of the boat -- the structure including the toons, transom, etc. are covered for 10 years. The bad news is that the things I expect are more likely to fail -- like the radio, bilge pump, switches, mooring cover, bimini, etc. -- would not be covered
Thank you, Jack. That is very useful. Be advised, that page is not the actual warranty. You have to click the "Download Warranty" link near the bottom to get the actual warranty language.Here is a link to the warranty statement . Structural is Lifetime .
