I picked this off another message board that the Coast Guard had decertified(?) the Engine Steer for their 17’&18′ boats. Kent confirmed it but nothing more. I’m wondering if anybody else has heard/seen this and can add the reasons? jerr

So does that mean that instead of a 130hp on the 18′ they will be dropping back to a 90hp ?
I don’t believe this affected the 2090 though

Not good news for the Warrior boat company if this is true.
V-1890 going from 140hp to 90hp
V-1783 going from 90hp to 75hp

The question that I have about it is: what’s that gonna do for/to my old 1890bt. Do I have to repower or am I “grandfathered” in. I’m guessing “grandfathered”. jerrAugust 31, 2013 at 7:12 pm #1192312Quote:

You’re grandfathered.

Do you think warrior will fix this and recertify them to keep from changing motors?September 2, 2013 at 1:35 pm #1192424Quote:

They can’t make you repower. However, you should send the coast guard a thank you note. Your boat is worth more today then it was last week.
