Shoppers beware. VEC warranty

[jimmbo]

It is not worth the paper it is written on. My 2002 POS 195SX, in 2002/2003 developed some gelcoat cracks in the transom area. The dealer arranged repair of these cracks. Several other areas were also repaired. In 2004 one of the cracks reappeared, much more pronounced and has spread in a direction opposite the original crack. Also several cracks have appeared on the transom inside the boat. One of the dealers service staff crawled inside the boat and said there was a structual problem. To date it hasn't been fixed. Glastron is trying to wiggle out of repairing it saying the previous repair wasn't done right. I haven't figured out how they came to that conclusion sense the boat hasn't been examined by them or a repair facility. Their warranty people are very poor at keeping in touch. I can say that Glastron does not stand behind their POS product. Lifetime warranty my *****

I looked at a Glastron 185 GX with 186 hours on iy yesterday it had 8 gell coat cracks coming from the windshied. The cracks were about 2-4 inches long. Other cracks were coming from the handles on the bow. I wonder if that is covered?
