I have a little problem?!?

[Captn C]

Well here we go....I hope this works!





Remember these photos were taken just a few hours apart. Plus the worst wave I encountered was the wakes of a few bay boats!

I know a good glass guy in Stuart, Florida, that could fix that transom once and for all [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Ha Captain C
I haven’t said much regarding your boat but have read this “I Have A Little Problem” thread since January of this year when you started posting in. I Really Feel For You like everyone else on this board for the raw deal regarding your 25 footer and their poor manufacturing attempts with a uni bracket. I wish things were different for you than what they are, but I really don’t think there are going to help you out on this problem because of their non transferable warrantee that went into effect that same year (some where in your thread you mentioned it) I am just going to say that: IF IT WERE ME I would count my losses and Move On. I know you don’t want to hear this, but if it has taken one year to get nowhere than it could take 3 more years to still get no where. Again IF IT WERE ME I would either, sell her as is, or pay someone or fix her, or fix her myself. Those Yellowfins you use to talk about are still waiting for you and your fishing life is to short to waist it on a broke boat. [censored] Happens and I’m sorry [censored] Happened to you. If you ever make it down here to South Florida let me know and I’ll take you out for the day fishing with me. I’m sure there are at least 10 other guys that will extend the same offer. Sorry again.

Like Fellow-Ship, I too have not said much (if anything) with regards to this thread, although I do empathize with you Captn C. I also believe that it may be time to cut your losses and move on, especially if there isn't any warranty coverage. I'd sell it as is and move on. The negative publicity that this thread has raised is probably enough for it to hurt new SeaCraft sales, which IMO is a decent dose of retribution on your part.

BTW, is it just me or are the "before" pix out of focus? I see the difference between "before" and "after", but the "befores" look a little fuzzy.

[Captn C]

Scott,
Yes the pictures are a little out of focus because of the light....or should I say the lack of it. But you can still see what I wanted seen.....the fact that the transom cracked some when it was being trailered and cracked a bunch once it was in the water.

My lawyer seems to think I have a stong enough case (under the Texas Deceiptive Trade Act) that he is willing to take his money at the end. So I can last as long as Tracker wants because it hasn't cost me dime for his fees up to this point.

Thanks for the offer guys.....I may just take you up on your offer one day!

Good luck CaptnC, It always amazes me how companies that wil not back their products stay in business. I think with the increased use of the internet, poorly ran companies such as this wil be forced to close their doors. Rightfully so, I might add. I had a similar experience with Mako. What it boils down to is poor workmanship on the part of the guys who build the boats, AND the supervisors who are supposed to SUPERVISE.

[Captn C]

capttwb,

Not sure if you know this or not, but Mako is owned by the same company that owns SeaCraft.....Tracker Marine...thats the reason you've had had similar problems....

I have tried to tell folks on the internet about my problems with Tracker Marine and they continue to still want to buy their products....until people quit buying their junk they will continue to build it!

what ever happened it's 2008 does anyone know?

[Captn C]

Hey everyone!

I still got her and she is still been racin across the gulf!

Just not lately

I hope to soon have her back in service. I've been grinding and laying glass for a few weeks. This weekend I hope to get her wet. I stopped by to see if I could get some tips on Gel Coating.

Did the Seacraft manafacturing move from Miami in 98 north to NC area? I have heard that the last Miami built boats 97-98 <before move> were pretty good. Wondering where this boat built...hmm...there is a 98 Miami built boat for sale in SW FL that been eyeing on CS.com.
