Flying,
I will start with saying that you may be correct with your post, but did you read what you posted? "Use arosyl but it will still break" The 30 & 35ol were always designed as liner boats, not "incorporated". "The glass will give a little but the (fiberglass) liner will not" Brunswick is "honering" the warranty???? Fountain "fixed" the problem by using fiberglass covered wood stringers like 95% of the Bajas models ever built? What do you think is "going on" under that cabin carpet in the 90 degree corners of most performance boats.....Yes, stress cracking. It just happens to be more noticeable in gelcoat. I answered the phone in CS (Customer Service) at Baja Marine for the last few months before closing, and for the most part what I seen was that, A little water over the dam, resulted in a major flood at Baja. Meaning that brunswick attempted to fix all issues, but became overwelmed with all the warranty claims they paid-out. Hell, I am not defending them, they sold my job to Fountain.
It is what it is.
PS. I still would like everyone to PM you on this issue.

Oh yeah and if you want to call spit shining Sh!t honoring a warranty then you belong at a factory. They need to replace every boat ever made with the defect, every person that spent 150k plus on a boat should get what they pay for, no matter how it affects the factory. In this case, I belive the factory closed to avoid this mess, crooks, all crooks.

Back to business here, every 30 Outlaw that came down the assembly line was a liner boat. You must have been lucky enough to score the only 30 that was built with stringers back in PD&E.
As far as "spit shining sh*t" honoring a warranty is concerned, dont blame all the "factory boys". A small handful of us are boaters and made alot of friends with guys that had warranty problems. Unfortunately, at the end of the day upper management makes all the decisions. Trust us, we'd love to have some of them lined up on dock somewhere to use as tackling dummys. With all the boats you had replaced, you must have had some interesting phone conversations with Bill Regan, so you know what Im talking about.

Just to let you guys know brunswick is sending someone down to the dealer were i brought boat to do the liner repairs i had a fiberglass man look at it he told me it is not a stuctural promblem just when they put the liner in they just bonded it together they should of have grinded the two pieces together and glassed it in now i dont know why they did not do that in the first place but i guess cheaper and faster is better than doing it right the first time.ill get back and let you guys know how the job turned out.thanks again for all of your replys.

Im running 28 pitched lab props twin 496ho im getting 72 top end on gps speedo the boat crusies at 60-65 with a great ride stock power debating on cmi headers and a raylar kit but from what im seeing it only gets another 10-12 mph so does the cost justifiey the gain.also thinging of blueprinting the hull and putting stand of boxes or going with a shortie drive might be able to gain most of that gain in mph with less the cost
