I have a 2004 velocity with 2 areas showing signs of gel-coat spider cracks. I was told by the factory that there is nothing to worry about. I was also told that I could have the factory fix it for me; but the drive to FL is a little out of the way since I live in Maryland.

Wait a minute, so there are 6 boats on here that have had hull problems that velocity fixed? What were the issues with these other boats? I'm starting to get nervous now! Maybe I had better do a close inspection on mine.

i did not say they had problems one had a place on the deck that was fixed mine had a crack in the engine hatch they replaced it no charge. keep in mind my boat is a 96 my brothers is a 98 and friend of mine is a 93 and all three of these boats have big power and can run 100mph so yes they have been beat on Even the things that i had them do like paint and trim work they were so much cheeper it was worth it to take it to them for the work

your best bet is to call the plant and talk to Steve him self he is usually there in the earlly am i have even got him like 7.30 am tell him what you have and just see what he says , Steve is easy to talk to.

Do I just call and ask to talk to steve? What happened to the thread starter? Did we scare you off?

mikes280 11-17-2009 09:52 PM

yes Steve Stepp

I know its steve stepp, but its not weird to just call and ask to talk to the owner of the company?

Steve, Ken and everyone at the factory are very approachable. They have always been more than willing to discuss things when it comes to my boat.

I don't have the money to fix the boat anytime soon, even if I fixed the bubbles myself (since there would be painting involved.) I'm just going to have to wait. Thank you for everyone's help.
