I just wanted to follow up; All my problems have been fixed except one, I am still having problems with the Raymarine stuff it is still glitchey. The dealer and formula have taken care of all my other needs. It could of been a little faster but most is done now.
One thing is the Hardtop roof hatches were manufactured wrong and they would only open about 1/2". They replaced both entire hatches with new ones and now they open about 6" Each. They made a change to the rams and the ram mounts.

Ray - I'll bet this will be a great boat once you get all the bugs (electronics) worked out. I'm curious how many boats you have had now? I remember a PQ and a Fountain, that you put a lot of work into.

Update, I called the dealer on friday to see how the warranty issues were comming and now I find out I have a bad head gasket on the port motor!!!
Last season I noticed a little coolant in the bilge, I figured it was from when they fixed the hot water tank and maybe something was loose. Over the winter they pressure tested the system and found a small leak between the head and block.
They never called me or said anything until I called, Now that the season is starting I call and now I get to take the boat to the dealer and loose boating time.
The boat has maybe 100 - 120 hours on it. I noticed the coolant just after I took delivery on the boat when it had arround 30hrs on it.
Dealer says its OK to drive but watch the coolant level.
Any Ideas on how long it should take in service do tear down the engine and replace the head gasket??
