I am not bashing or anything, but just how did these items ever get past you while you were buying the boat? Were you looking at one in the showroom, and the dealer promised "one just like it"? Was it shipped in from another location? Did you order it from the fatory? It sounds as though the first time you ever looked at the boat was after you bought it and had it in your slip.
I heve never purchased a new boat, but when I do I'll be asking for a couple of hours on land to crawl around in and examine the actual boat that I am purchasing before putting pen to paper. I know you can't catch everything, but you should certainly have noticed gouged woodwork, cracked arches, and obviously broken stuff while you were looking at it at the time of sale.
There must be something to the story that you haven't told us.
Yup:thumbsup:
That's a much nicer way of saying what I was thinking. It's one thing if your new boat has an engine that quits or electronics that failed, but another if there are noticable blemishes on the finish. You mentioned the big spilled gelcoat strip all around the cockpit table, WTF, if it's so bad why didn't you notice it before you bought the boat? Sounds like someone got a great deal on last year's demo model or something and is now blaming sea ray on the downside of that purchase.
