Re: LARSON Hull Problems
UPDATE
Sorry for delay in updates- Too much work
Since my last update Larson received the boat just 48 hrs after pickup. A Larson warranty rep called me on the morning of the third day. She informed that the cracking and flexing was being caused by air cavity that was not filled with epoxy during the manufacturing process. This made since due to the nature of the cracks and the location of the air cavity. Larson confirmed that we did have the proper transom support. Larson then agreed to rework the aft of the boat to add additional support and ensure that all cavities were filled in exceedence of original specs. In addition they were starting the process the next day.
It took Larson about a week and half to rework the boat. I was pleased it did not sit in a lot just waiting in line.
Once complete I was notified logistics was being coordinated for delivery.
April 30, Boat arrives at dealer. My dealer actually had it ready to go same day. Of course with any repair you have to look over the workmanship. I was pleased to see all work done on the transom was a far better fit then when I originally received the boat. I also noticed that Larson took the time to fix every little issue with the boat. For example I had a screw stripping on the bimini brace which was reworked to new, they replaced snaps for my snap down carpets, and they even fixed a in floor plug that had stress cracks in the gel coat. Once I got the boat home I also noticed that they cleaned every compartment under the seats as well as cleaned the carpets in all the storage holds. Now with this boat this is no easy task. There are a total of 8 storage compartments located in the boat. Believe me this is a total pain in the *** to clean.
First ride ?All was good no flexing no cracking.
Overall this was a very enjoyable experience to work with Larson and St. Tammany Marine. I felt I was properly informed on each step throughout the entire process.
**This week I will try and load pictures of the before and after shots
