I agree Bill, I'm dealing with this problem as we speak. But overall I won't complain. I beat the snot out of my boat and it NEVER left me stranded..

Well to be more specific,where the pipes come through the transon,no seals or caulk what so ever,where the deck and bottoms are joined,no caulk,where drive indicators,transom anything related,NO Caulk and no ealant at all.Dont get me wrong I love my boat but this is a major problem that needs to be addressed.We did the transom in a 280,A friend had to do his 41 and and also a 22 now I have to do my 320.If I do the math that is about 1 million worth of hardware or so not to mention all the added time and expense of doing all of the repairs as well as R&R Of the engines and drives.I think some caulk would have been a smart idea as well as some good exhaust seals.

I had to dry out and reseal my transom last year. What a pain in the a$$. Took 2 months under the heat lamp to draw all the water out.

Hey Thorough,show US pictures or are you full of it because they chose for you not to be a dealer anymore.I am upset about my boat and just making some suggestions so that others do not have these problems.So can you show us your problems or are you just bashin.

Through,

As I have asked you to elaborate once before, and you failed to respond. Any specific incidents that you care to share with us, which may have brought about your problem?????? I know the boat was mint before it "landed" on Long Island.
