    I agree. As a seasoned technician representing many manufactures in a different field, I had much success in turning a past or even a non-warranty issue to a warranty claim. Most of the time they agree to parts only, customer picks up labor. This works only through their technical Service dept., never works through warranty claims dept.as DJ stated.

    OK, you are starting to get my attention.I am a very picky boater that keep my boats in pristine condition.Is their any damage/scrapes/scratches to the gelcoat? I also have a few other questions.

    1)How shiny is the is the gelcoat on the bow?

    2)Does the engine have a closed cooling system?

    3)How do you flush the engine after using it?I'm not familar with the jackshaft system.Is the water pickup on the outdrive or does it have a thruhull fitting?

    4)Do all of the electronics/electrical work?

    5)How long have you owned it?

    6)How old are the batteries?

    This looks like a sweet boat.You can reply to this or give me a call at 231-744-0242.

    1.Gelcoat is in great shape, the shine is deep.

    2.Cooling system is not closed, never a problem.

    3. Neutralizer, toggle switch on for 45 sec and shut the key off, done that easy. Great system.

    4. Had the boat little over a year

    5.Had the batteries checked out this spring, checked out 100%. They were to busy to have all checked out and return the boat when I needed, so this past weekend dropped the boat off to have the outdrive checked out (scheduled 500 hrs).

    Reminds me of the old days on the Severn River. About twice a year we would tie a stranded traveler abrest to a safe dock or "Sappingtons Marina" That was in a 12' boat dad made for me with a 5hp. We had little to no control pulling.

    Great fun.

    :605_thumbs_up: I knew I forgot some info, thanks.

    471 hrs to this day. Weight full load of fuel, water etc, close to 6K lbs.

    No rear curtain was ordered. I asked the same question when buying her, yet never found a reason to do so. We kept dry when the clouds broke open.

    Updraft, you'll have to explain that one. 4' of water is what's safely needed.

    $49,500. or reasonable offer gets a dream boat!

  24. Sea Hunt Boats

    in Boating and Fishing Discussion

    Posted

    Answered my question before asking. I like to looks, adn edgewood and everglages. One of those three will be my new knock around once I sale my Alemarle. Not traveling as we thought, just want somthing smaller. I'll tell ya though the fuel just hold out and easy to maintain.

    Only problem the wife is use to the soft ride regardless what waves are coming she no nonger even looks. I hope this doesn't lead to a talk.

    But did like to se seaHunt on the plus side and I know there light but maybe bouncy?
