1999 Epic 21 Toyota recall (Twisted Hull)
« on: July 17, 2006, 05:56:07 am »
Good day,
I'm considering purchasing the 1999 Epic 21 currently advertised in Boat Trader. When reading the Epic History section the subject of the Toyota recall in 1999 for twisted hulls due to the fiberglass mold distorting due to heat (hot Florida Sun).
Did Toyota specify certain serial numbers and did they actually replace everyone of them? How can I be sure this Epic 21 is not flawed?
I'm trying to ask all the right questions and cover all the right bases before I drag this unit 4200 kilometers back home.
If anyone has some wisdom to share on this subject it would be appreciated.
I would prefer the Epic 22 but am looking for a "clean" one without the tower, doesn't seem to be any out there.
Thanks,

Capt Rick

There are no hulls that have any recall issues in the market place.

From everything I've heard, all afflicted boats were recalled and destroyed. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
