6.    WARRANTY COSTS

For its Chaparral and Robalo products, Marine Products provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner. Chaparral also includes a five-year limited structural deck warranty. Warranties for additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not transferable. Additionally, as it relates to the second subsequent owner, a five-year transferable hull warranty and the remainder of the original one-year limited warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates five years after the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by the original component manufacturer. The manufacturers of the engines, generators, and navigation electronics included on our boats provide and administer their own warranties for various lengths of time.
