How Tough is a Superboat
 

Anybody ever break their Superboat? I did...
Well I have to admit, I do run hard. Some times you have no choice. We ran into 4 to 6 footers coming back across the Sound yesterday.

Went down to my boat to give her a once-over after this past weekends trip. What did I find? A broken stringer... The one above the upper strake on starboard side. I wish I had a digital with me. At least in was not one that holds the engine.

Got the fiberglass guy lined up for next week. Need to have my boat ready to rumble again quickly. Two trips to Block planned for August.

Tsk, tsk. The last holdout heads for the trailer.

Hey Patrick,

How long is the hull warranty on Superboats? Maybe John will help you out? I was just thinking about this the other day while looking over my boat. The only thing I can find on mine is a very small stress crack towards the bow, right above the rub rail. It may have come from hitting a dock or something.

The hull warrenty is 5 years. any owner or any power.

i dont think it transferable

My Boat is a 1997, so I did not expect it to be under warranty.

Jim, I do believe John did warranty work on Zuperboat's 30', and he is not the original owner.

Dave, I am glad to here that you have not had similar issues. I also have cracking along the seam between the sides of the hull and the shelves that the battery and trim pump are mounted.

I must say that I am a little disappointed, and I am hoping that I don't have a problem like this again.
I have heard only good things about Superboats over the years and that is why I bought one.

Pat,

I tried to pm you but not sure you got it. I would be most interested in seeing the damage. You around this weekend? Call me 860-690-2001

Hey, Pat!

Are you up & running again? Rumor says it's so. Want to meet at Claudio's this Sunday? Or terrorize your river?

PM me or call my cell Sunday noonish.

Hey Peconic,
It's Sunday afternoon now so too late to meet up at this point. Just got home from softball.
I am going to take a blast this afternoonin the river.
My boat goes into the shop Monday or Tuesday, and will be out of acction for about a week.
She will be ready for Block on the 17th. South Side Johny at the Sring House!!!
Hope to see you and the rest of the Long Island Crew there...

I was at Claudio's this afternoon. A bit rough going home while trying to outrace a storm that blows in your face...

17: We have a race in Pt. Pleasant on the 15th, back on the 16th. Maybe I can make Block.

Sounds like we will miss you at the Shinnecock-Claudio's run on the 9th.
