hey chris
where are the stress cracks exactly i have a fairing with the lexan extention
i have 43 hrs i want to look for them on mine.

Rotax, here is where the first signs of stress cracks are appearing. Like I said, at this point ( only 14 hours ) i'm going to see if they get worse... My 96 23 foot Baja had 225 hard hours on it and not a single stress crack, so you can see whey I am a little upset.. if it does not get any worse or develop anywhere else we will see.. I am currently running the boat on the upper hudson river in NY in pretty mild conditions,, so we will see if this becomes a bigger concern.

After looking at the new hull, I have to agree with the above, this hull has noticable changes that are a direct result of engineering and testing in the water. It is impressive to say the least. The boat we brought back to FL was sold in a week. Anyone shopping for a 29 or 32 should at least take a look at these boats.

hey chris288 thanks for the picture
i will check mine this weekend let ya know next week.
whats that on your center dash a compass.

did you not get the speedo in the center

Chris288

I got the speedo and tach side by side,, I guess i'm a little selfish and wanted the gauges all to myself just kidding, I think it looks better as does my wife. I ended up putting a Livorsi in dash compass,,, it's a tiny bit small for the " BOSS " it's mounted in but all in all nobody would ever notice except for myself and I think it looks great..

P.S. yah,, let me know if your having stress cracks also .. Thanks .. chris

Hey Chris I Can't Believe That You Have A Problem With Your Boat. I Have Been Selling And Delivering Faster Than They Can Build Them. I Have'nt Seen Any Stress Cracks. From What I See In Your Picture It Is Just Gel-coat Crack. This Happens From Time To Time On Any Boat Part That Has A Radius. I Am Sure That Sunsation Will Take Care Of It. Ps It's Not Structural Nor A Defect.

Mark, I was under the impression all stress cracks were just gel-coat cracks ?? I obviously know it's nothing structural, just ticks me off they have appeared after only about 14 hours... on a side note, after taking it in the ocean over the weekend, they haven't gotten any worse, and of course Sunsation has offered to fix it.. At this point I am going to hold off on any type of repairs and see how the boat holds up for a season or so and see if things stay the same or get worse.
