I have a little problem?!?

[Briguy]

I guess the bow isn't a part of the hull...for that matter WTF, I guess when you work at the SC factory and your boss says "get to work, you have 3 hulls to lay up today" you can just point at an empty mold and say "BOSS I'M DONE! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I crack myself up!

I' GOING ON FULL CAPS LOCK NOW. THIS POST STARTED AS, " I THINK I HAVE A LITTLE PROBLEM" THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM, SEEING THAT IT STARTED ON FUDGING JANUARY 20TH OF 2004.

SUZUKI JUST HAD A MAJOR MAJOR RECALL ON THE 4 STROKE V6'S. THEY PUT OUT A BULLITEN, SHIPPED ECM'S TO DEALERS AND VIOLA, IT WILL TAKE 5 MINUTES TO FIX. NOW THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE.

INTERESTING QUESTION TO ASK BPS, IF THE TRANSOM ISN'T PART OF THE HULL, WHAT IS IT? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

They are now holding the paper work from a Texas Board Certified, Texas Deceptive Trade Act attorney.

I assum they will define "the hull" in their reply...or they can wait and tell the judge.

Hey Captn C- this is leslie from The hull truth. I had written to you some time ago regarding your hull problem. I own the Mako 282 in the boat usa article. we have been fighting with tracker/mako for two years. the coastguard just initiated a recall. no repairs yet. I feel your pain.

[Captn C]

I thought it was from the way the story played out. I have filed with the USCG against Tracker Marine too.

Hard headed bunch of fools up there in Springfield!

I have found about 6 or 7 25' SeaCraft for sale at Yacht World.com and two (can't really see the rest of the boats transom very well) of the boats that are for sale have had the transoms repaired like they did mine, were they put the angle on top of the transom. I e-mailed both brokers about the repairs, but neither has replied.

[leslie]

Glad to hear that you have applied with the coastguard. keep after them. they are a group of great guys but they are very busy. i am also glad to hear that you have located other vessels with similar problems. the coastguard's standard is design defects and not just one lemon off the line.

Good luck to you. keep me posted.

[leslie]

one more thought. you didn't happen to see any 282 mako's on the lot with cracks, did ya?????????

[Captn C]

I was looking at boats on the internet. Thats why I didn't get to check all the SeaCrafts. Some don't have good pictures of the back of the boat. Only one boat had a decent photo of the transom that didn't have the angle on the top of the transom.

I also got an e-mail from a guy in VA that said his transom was starting to crack a little....seems his boat was 2002 25' SeaCraft.

seems everyone has the same problem. great friendly service at sale time and no information when lodging a complaint. i must be niave. i have never seen a manufacturer do so little to keep up consumer confidence in their products.
