That's great stuff. I didn't realize that.
I hear CD's point loud and clear, but I have to say, if I had that option, I would have taken it (depending on the price I suppose). True, if you're halfway to Bermuda and something breaks you're not getting it fixed until you get there. But once there, I'd much rather have the manufacturer pick up the tab. Presumably that warranty covers labor too, but even if it doesn't and covers parts only (and this goes to the price they want for the extended coverage), that still might be worth it. A new fridge/alternator/electric head, etc. ain't cheap. And that's not to mention that if you're coastal cruising, particularly along the U.S. east coast, that kind of warranty would be of serious value. Good for Hunter; that really is an advancement in customer service/relations that I would like to see all builders follow.
