Re: Honest Opinions Needed
 

I know the guy ,he used to keep his boat at the marina across the creek from my house. One sunday afternoon he came flying in the nowake zone on plan with a HUGE hole the size of a beachball in the starbourd side just above the water line.

I got in my truck and went over to the marina to see if he was ok+what happened. He said he coming back across the bay and was running with a friend of his (LUCKY) that saw his boat delaminate when he hit a cruser wake.

Fast forward three days. Velocity send a truck from sanford to pick up the boat. Took his engine,drive,and controls out of his boat. Put them in the very next 280 on the line. Repainted the same graffics on that boat,and brought that boat back to baltimore two weeks later.

This happend in late JUN and he was only down a little over two weeks. A credit to VELOCITY. Fast service and standing by there hulls for 5 years.

Yes I remember the boat and yes as Charlie Ewing can attest,Steve Stepp will stand behind his product all the way,I just think that Thorough is bashing for other reasons other than the norm.I can also tell you that the product that he raves about so much now as well as all other manufactures have problems also from time to time,Hustler,Fountain and on and on and sometimes abuse comes into play because as some people forget if you flex it to far and or the wrong way they can and will break and or start to seperate and delaminate.Caulking issues should never happen and are not the norm and should never be an issue.

I know of a similar scenario with a "280". The broken boat disappeared in a hurry.

My Transom and Exhaust holes are all resin. There isn't any unexposed wood. Even the bolts around the Platform were Silicon-ed.
