-   -   Gel coat bubble/flaw (http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509357)

I was cleaning my boat the other day and I noticed 2 quater size bubbles in my gel coat. Bubble may be to strong of word, it just a small area where the surface is raised higher than the rest. It is almost like something is under the gel. <BR> <BR>Im taking it to my dealer this weekend to have him look at, but I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with this and can give me a preview of what it may be

If it's in an area that stays wet, they're blisters. The only way to repair is to grind them out and regel the area.

There is one just behind the nav light on the nose and then another nearly on the top of the boat just behind the rear tower point. These are not spots I would say stay wet. <BR> <BR>However, we did have that period of like 45 days straight rain and it was stored outside (but with the boat cover on). So perhaps the cover maintained the moisture and caused the blister (blister is the perfect description btw)? <BR> <BR>Does anybody know if blisters would be covered in the standard Sanger warranty? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by ccwhite on October 08, 2007)

They could just be knots in the wood. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

i say 9-times out of ten it is Warranty are you bringing it back to me or taking it to Austin dealer.

I sent an email to HWC last week trying to bring it in this saturday (the 13th) and have not had a response yet. I was going to call you today if I had not gotten a reply by 3pm. I sent the email to <a href="mailto:service@nautiqueway.com">service@naut iqueway.com</a> <BR> <BR>I did talk with James briefly about this about a month ago. He wanted me to get photos for him but they didn't show up in the pictures.

... There is an Austin Sanger dealer!?! Where is he located at? That would save me about 3hrs in drive time.

I heard there is a guy who just took Sanger on in Austin I can't remember who it is, but I know I saw a Sanger out on Lake Travis this past weekend that I did not sell. I don't think the Austin guy is even on the Sanger website yet and I tried to do a search but couldn't find him. <BR> <BR>Your e-mail probably got spammed out of Cliff's e-mails on accident e-mail James at <a href="mailto:jameswilliams@flash.net">jameswilliam s@flash.net</a> and he will get back to you today.
