2k Ron,

What exactly do you bring to this board? The membership here is a friendly group always wishing to add a helping hand. We also call 'em like we see them. I have been to Travis boating center in Sarasota many times in the last 6 months looking at the 32 SeaCraft and if you look at my previous thread the boat was an abortion. Friday I stopped buy Travis to look at a shiny blue 23 with a 250 Verado. I must admit, the boat had curb appeal. What I didn't like was the corner pitch wells in the stern and the deck livewell. I encourage you to come out of your ivory tower, drop your holyer than though attitude and go look at one of your boats coming off the assembly line. Please tell me that I am wrong with my comments. The underside of the live well had an unsealed 1/4 inch gap between the cap and the top of the well. This is is a receipe for disaster. I am sure it would take one of your employees all of 5 minutes to seal up the gap with a gun of 5200. The upper 2 mounting bolts for the Verado were already rusted. The hull upon closer inspection had gel coat scratches. The silicone bead between the rubrail and hull was done ok but could be better.

I guess the main problem is this. Your attitude: Finster asked you a simple question which you chose to answer:

Finster,

I would hope that you are aware that most of the new things that are coming to both lines of our boats, I am not at liberty to say. There are going to be several positive changes coming, but that is about as far as I can go into it.

My reply to you is why all the hush hush? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] You can't comment of the fact that you are addressing design, material, labor or quality issues? Unless you are coming out with an "top secret atomic variable deadrise hovercraft SeaCraft 23" I think you can address not only Finsters but all of our concerns. A little advice: In order to fix a problem, first you have to admit it. Admit the glass work in the anchor area is subpar at best, admit you have livewell design/sealing issues, admit you have been living off the SeaCraft name for years with shaky quality.

Trust me, I have the $$$ to purchase any one of your boats but you have nothing to offer that's why I've owned my '78 for 8 years now. Fix your quality issues, design a 27-29 ft boat that runs as dry as my 23(I've heard the 32 is wet!), stand behind your product and you guys will be rolling in cash and have a following that makes Contender jealous.
