LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NEW 2008 MODEL YEAR CARVER YACHTS

1. Limited Warranty Coverage

Carver Boat Corporation, L.L.C. (“Carver”) warrants that each 2008 Model Year Carver yacht purchased from an authorized Carver dealer, when properly used, will be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two (2) years from the date of delivery to the original retail owner (the "Owner"), subject to the exclusions discussed below. In addition, defects in material and workmanship in structural fiberglass parts and components of the hull and deck are warranted for ten (10) years and defects in material and workmanship that result in osmosis blistering of the exterior gel coat surface of the hull are warranted for five (5) years. This limited warranty applies only to covered defects first arising and reported to Carver or its authorized dealer within the applicable warranty coverage period. If the yacht is used for commercial, rental, charter or other non-consumer service the above warranty periods are limited to sixty (60) days.

2. Limitation/Exclusion of Implied Warranties

The express limited warranty described above is the sole and exclusive express warranty from Carver. Under the laws of certain states, there may be no implied warranties from Carver applicable to your boat, and all implied warranties (INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) are excluded and disclaimed from warranty coverage where allowed by law. Any IMPLIED WARRANTIES arising under applicable law are LIMITED IN THEIR DURATION TO ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, if any, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY and FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED IN THEIR ENTIRETY AFTER ONE (1) YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. There are no warranties that extend beyond the description on the face hereof. NOTE: SOME SATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.

The Owner is responsible for all expenses associated with transporting the Carver yacht and/or defective part to and from the Carver service location.

5. Limitation of Remedies/Damages

The sole and exclusive remedy under this warranty (including any applicable implied warranty) is the repair or replacement (as determined by Carver, at its option) of defects in materials or workmanship covered by this limited warranty, and does not include incidental or consequential damages which are specifically DISCLAIMED and excluded from this warranty. Note: SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
