Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has Cee Bee Mfg Co had?
Cee Bee Mfg Co has one USCG safety recall on record, issued in October 1992 for the 15 foot Avenger model. The campaign affected just 6 boats and addressed level flotation stability.
What Cee Bee Mfg Co models were recalled?
The only Cee Bee Mfg Co model with a recorded recall is the 15 foot Avenger, affected by campaign 920304S in 1992. All other Cee Bee models have no USCG recall history.
What was wrong with the Cee Bee Avenger flotation system?
Campaign 920304S cited level flotation and level flotation stability as defects, meaning the foam or design did not meet Coast Guard standards for keeping a swamped boat afloat and level. Proper flotation prevents a flooded boat from sinking or capsizing.
Should I avoid buying a Cee Bee Mfg Co boat because of this recall?
No, the single 1992 recall affecting 6 boats is not grounds to avoid the brand. If you are considering a 15 foot Avenger from that era, simply verify the remedy was completed and have the flotation inspected during a marine survey.
