You will be glad you did get the extra warranty. What exactly are the "certain conditions of, and exclusions to" the warranty they mention?

And my cheque wen't in today by courier!

I believe the two extra years is engine /drive only and exclusions are standard weasle clause exceptions for all damages beyond manufacturers responsibility!
Good luck in trying to get that defined, I tried-gave up and said Sign me up anyways!

You are absolutely correct. That could mean anything they determine it to mean.
"I'm sorry, sir, but you actually put the boat in the water, and I'm afraid that voids all warranties."

Well  guys, I hope they're throwing it in for nothing  'cause that's what it's worth!  

When I bought my used Speedster, I paid almost $100 to transfer the 5 year extended warranty...just try to collect!      When a tine broke on the hydrosurge grate..."that's not covered"; and because that's not covered, any ancillary damage that it might have caused (like the impeller) would, therefore, also not be covered.  

In other words, any damage caused by the failure of an uncovered part is also not covered even if it subsequently damages a covered part!

Which, in a nutshell, means just about anything. I still cannot believe that no one has admitted fault with the Hydrosuck issue. I could see it being a non warranty part if you, say, sucked  a Pontiac through there.......

Your right, they doo thow it in for nothing (so they say ) - Yet it seems to work for alot of consumers. I'm sure I'm not the only sucker to run to sign up.

At the end of the day, I figure it gives me some piece of mind for additional coverage for major malfunction in motor ( and in my case TWO MOTORS!)

I have bought ten snowmobiles from BRP over the years and it all comes down to your dealer and their interpretation of WARRANTY CLAIMS on our behalf.

I hope Sea-doo is as great as Ski-doo, no doubt it is!

You are absolutely correct! That has been said time after time. The dealer has to want to follow through from the time of purchase until you decide to buy another vehicle from them. Well put....

I have found that my loyalty to my dealer over the years is what pays off. The consumer that moves around year after year to save a couple hundred bucks on a total trade/purchase deal will not get the payback that the loyality will.

That initial savings can easly be discounted with the first NO, I'M SORRY, THAT IS NOT COVERED... READ YOUR EXCEPTIONS response from the dealer

Get a dealer that will back you up.  I have one.  My Sportster 4-tec totaly blew the motor shortly after break-in (in '03).  I had a new motor installed and running 10 days after I dropped it off.  Sea-Doo wanted to fix the motor, I said no and the dealer backed me up.  Water had been injested through the bottom oil drain and I did not want to take any chances.  I know I probably paid an extra couple of hundred bucks by not shopping around for my new Speedster 200, but I think it's worth sticking with a dealer you know!

i used to go in mid season and make noises about upgrading and then again and then again - it does seem to keep them on their toes - it worked for ten years with s*****y - until i went up to a cruiser - different dealer - and then it all went down hill!

Unfortunately, the original purchaser of my Speedster bought the extended warranty from the dealer that sold him the Speedster.  Like many extended warranties, they have absolutely nothing to do with either Bomber or Merc.  They're, in effect, a type of insurance company that insures you against things that go wrong after the manufacturer's warranty expires.  The grate has been the  only malfunction since I purchased the boat in October 2002 hence, my only experience with them.  If the extended warranty is from Bomber, I'm sure you'll be treated better than I was.
