It's just part of doing business when you're racing. All these boats take some serious ponding out there.

I agree Dave, I will tell you this guys, Randy and MTI have gone above and beyond with regard to repairs on our boat. I cannot say enough good things about them with regard to the way we have been treated. First class from the top to the bottom. When you race hard, you break and it will cost ya.

Don't know why it would be Mystic. Skater didn't pay for Forrest Barber's 46 Skater that delamed in KW during the '99 Worlds our my 46 during the '03 Worlds in OB. MTI & Platinum didn't pay when the bottom of their boats failed for Geico The list goes on and on.

But here is something that John Cosker posted today on another site which is pretty cool....
I'm sorry I wasn't a member of this board so Sean Stinson alerted me to this thread.
As stated above I am going to stand behind my product and put Joe and Jeff into a new boat. They are meeting with John Arruda today to go over the rigging transfer details.
The water intruded into the cockpit through holes cut in the structure during rigging. When the bottom delaminated we lost one bulkhead in the sponson but the safety cage around the occupants STAYED IN TACT. In light of this on all of my boats I will call them back to the shop after rigging and put structural safety shields over all rigging holes. I have already discussed this with some of my teams.
I am very concerned about the cavalier attitude that some builders take, thinking that they know "enough"...... because of "experience" or an "engineering degree". - From T2X.
Really?? Do you know me? I never know enough and life is a constant evolution. If every entrepreneur or person responsible for technological advances were looked at as cavalier and ridiculed where would we be? I like the styling of some dugout canoes but they would be a pretty boring race.
I have talked to almost all of my racers in the last couple of days about upgrades revisions and ways to make the boats safer and more advanced. I welcome all of their input, it only makes my boats better. Is that cavalier?
I've been in this industry nearly 20 years and there are those whose "time in" eclipses mine. I listen to them very carefully. I don't watch these posts much so if anyone would like to discuss this with me in person my office number is 386-736-451-0047, my cell phone is 386-451-0047, and my home phone is 386-760-9166. Even better stop by and see what we do here.
Best regards,
