Sounds like Triumph is willing to allow the warranty if the sale is legitamate. If the dealer or first owner didn't registar the initial sale correctly, that's not Triumph's fault. You have 2 weeks to notify Triumph and send in your $400 or so to activate a "transferred" warranty. That's common knowledge around here. They have also been so kind as to allow "exceptions" to this rule.
Something sounds "fishey" so you are right in asking alot of questions especially of the seller and non authorized dealer. Triumph has always gone out of their way for me. They picked up my boat at my house, trucked it over 1200miles 2 ways and back to my doorstep for a warranty repair, not a penny out of my pocket. Of course I tend to be nice to folks when I am asking for help. Can't get that from my car dealer and paid double for my Avalanche.
Is your 1981, 34 Silverton still under warranty? Do they have a lifetime transferrable warranty too? Did you pay alot more for the 34 Silverton? Is the boat so "suspect" that they will not back their product for a LIFETIME? Only five years?
You should give credit where credit is due and maybe not come off so abraisive.
Oh, they sent you a new heater because the heater company (who supplied faulty heaters) and Silverton could be sued for millions by you if the old one caught fire, that's another way to keep down their prices. There are numerous recalls with Silvertons, just go to their website. Guess that's why they only have a 5 year warranty.
