I have noticed several star-shaped cracks in the deck (this is more than simple gel coat crazing) around one of the supports for the port 'catbird seat.' We have not had anyone over 200# sitting there, and the boat is less than a year old. I am disappointed, to say the least, and I intend to speak to the dealer about this. Has anyone else noticed this? If so, how has it been repaired?

Your dealer should make the repairs, but they will try and make you bring the boat back to them...in my case it took a letter from my attorney to Frank Butler to get them to do the right thing and not cause me additional personal expense due to damages in the gel coat on a new boat from the factory...I hope your dealer is more responsible than mine...Dan #727
