Some of you may remember from the SRO forum we have had several issues with stress fractures on our '05 240 Sundeck. The input we received from the SRO forum was invaluable & lead to Searay recalling our boat.
We will deliver it to the Tellico plant shortly where they will evaluate it & do 1 of 2 things: the entire deck will be ground down & repaired (not likely) or the entire deck will be replaced.
The boat has been "repaired" 3 times in the short time we've had it & has no fewer than 13 cracks now.
Not exactly ecstatic about the situation, but the Searay folk have to this point been very good to work with.
One thing I don't understand is the economics of repair vs replace. Either option on the repairs sounds like a lot of work. I'm not sure if I were Searay I would'nt just sell the boat as a "scratch & dent" & offer another boat. We don't necessarily want another boat as ours only has 100 hrs on it. Maybe a couple of the fiberglass guys from the old forum will see this & comment.......Scott
