Guys,

I was told by a maritime Lawyer I had to let them try to repair the boat...well they tried...kinda. If you are interested in e-mailing someone you need to direct your e-mails to Tracker Marine. To my knowledge SeaCraft doesn't even know I have a problem. All of the SeaCraft e-mails go though Tracker. Here is a list of the things I have found on the boat since it returned.

This list I sent this morning to some of the upper brass at Tracker.

1. After I had the T-Top (12-27-03) repaired I tightened all the screws that go into the floor. I found there is a plate mounted in the floor that the screws are threaded into. Most of the screws were stripped so I put 1/4X20 nylon locking nuts on all but two of the screws, I couldn’t reach the last two. During the trip to Tennessee for some reason they removed most of the nut on the starboard front post and those of course are all loose.

2. Both rear rub rail on have been bent and no longer fit in the corners properly any longer. There is also light coming though the rub rail area in the starboard rear corner. You can also see how thin the fiberglass is in the spot where they did some patch work. And finally the end of the rub rail on the port side where it ends at the splash well never had a screw put in it to hold it in place.


3. The front bilge area that they (mystery repair shop in Tennessee) said that there had no problem draining has a couple inches water in it to the point it has filled the storage area inside the center console with 1/4” of water.

4. I was told by both Tracker and Bass Pro Shop that the boat would be loaded onto a trailer and transported to Tennessee, but after it had left I was told they hauled my boat on my trailer. Which in its self is not a big deal, but the boat sat at Bass Pro Shop and the mystery shop in Tennessee that two tires lost enough air pressure to cause significant tire wear on the front left tire and right rear tire.

5. The splash well pulled free from the transom and no steps were taken to bond it back to the transom.. I am sure the factory had intended this bonded area to help shore up the top of the transom.

6. The obvious crack in the bulkhead at the rear of the fuel tanks still is not repaired. I was given an explanation from Tracker Marine why it wasn’t repaired, but it was so much double talk I honestly don’t recall what I was told. I didn’t plan to contest the explanation until after I seen what had been done. I personally can’t find any repair that will have shored up the deck.


7. Neither corner of the cockpit area where repaired and the port side now has a second crack that developed during it’s time in Tennessee.

I have photos of all of the above item, but I don't remember what the secret word is to access the Boat Zone.
