What a horror story!! What was the final outcome? I just bought a 2004 23 foot - anyone know of any issues with this model?

DonnaSea,
I am the owner of the 25' SeaCraft in the link. I have been all over the new 23' SeaCraft and so far they seem to be very solid. I truely think they are designed/assembled a little differently than the 25' SeaCraft. The bad thing is you WILL become Tracker Marines next victim if you have any problem with the hull. They will not stand behind their product 100%. They will, at best, do all they can to just patch/hide any problem that arrises. They would rather do that then satisfy you as a customer. They have a track record of this type behavior and I see no reason for them to change. They have even argued with the USCG about their products (the Mako recall). I would think if the Coast Guard says your boat has a problem...it must have a problem.

CaptnC,what was thr reason for the Mako recall?

Scott · #6 09-29-2004, 09:47 AM

Coast Guard recall

There was some talk a year or two ago about a 23 having a problem with a bulkhead (If I recall forward of the console under the deck) also some talk of voids (air pockets) in the hull. I think these were two isolated problems in two separate boats ... never heard anything more about it.

Captn.C’s 25 seems to be the most extreme “failure” to date …. Well other than that mako…

A little off topic …but wasn’t there a report of another Mako splitting open along the keel and taking on water while offshore?? Was that for real ???
