Yeah yeah yeah......well, for me it has held for about 10 hours now so far! Sorry to hear others are now having to deal with this, but not surprised, and glad they are fixing it before a BIG problem later.

Here are a few pics that illustrate how the hull might flex when the factory defect shows up..........not the end of the world but if not addressed..............could be bad.

Oh wait......I used my boat in the ocean. Check it out!

Great video! Boat looked like it was dialed in perfect. Good driving. Sucks to hear about your problem.

Haven't seen many videos of Formulas at speed. Yours looks great, and lands better than many of the videos of Cigarettes, Fountains, AT's, etc that I have seen. Very impressive ride.

About what speed were you running there?

Nice video Nort!

Thanks! Speed was probably 70-75. This was in 2004 before Whipples being installed.

Thanks! It was an awesome day for everyone with perfect SoCal weather.

Thanks....it did run well as it almost always has. I would really love to do a new one with the Whipples. The hull problems have been identified and eliminated.

Think I have this issue on our 05 353. I have the same exact headliner tearing as in the pictures in post 242. My entire cabinet , sink top, and small wall panel with outlet on the port side has moved and there are huge gaps by the mirror. I had one bolt come completely loose from the stainless rail on the starboard side mid way between the hatches. I dropped the speaker trim panel and tightened it back up. I read this entire thread and its not really clear what the fix takes to do and the product needed to get it done. Anyone have any pointers? Please post or PM me if you want to keep your information private.

Did the recommended inspection along the rub rail and good news for me, no issue! The cabin cabinet shifting seems to be a common problem not always associated with the deck issue. Thanks for all your pointers in getting the boat checked out.

That's great. Keep checking every year.
