Anybody with info on any other boat manufactures warranty other then MC?
Well,I'm really disappointed to say that MC's warranty is NOTHING I thought it was.
When I bought my boat in April of 2004,I was told that EVERYTHING was under warranty for 3 years.
I got the boat and like every MC I seen it had some minor gelcoat cracks.I went to my dealer and asked to get them fixed but the manager at the time told me to let them develop a bit more and to take my boat in after they get bigger.Well,I waited more then I wanted just b/c I got REALLY busy and after 3 years I finally decided to get them fixed.
Since my boat is up at Disco Bay,I took it to Norcal MC.After some investigation by their part,they told me that there was no record of me complaining about the gelcoat cracks and was told that it would come out of MY pocket.So I calmy asked what the estimate was and to my disbelief,I was told $3,200.00.
They instructed me that they did all they can and for me to call MC in Tennessee since the owner may have more pull.
I called confidently thinking they will take care of my problem.I talked to Bill Gateas(sp)?,Greg Crawerly(sp)? and pretty much everybody that has some kind of pull or MC team owners and was told that MC DOES NOT have ANY gelcoat crack warranty once you take it off the lot for any cosmetic issues....not even a month,week or a day for that matter.This came right out of the horses mouth.Now I blame NorCal MC for not realizing that few actually might be structural since they are getting bigger and bigger but they instructed me that they been in the business for 25 years and they know better.
Now I'm thinking that unless this is a regular thing with every manufacturer(not covering gelcoat cracks at all)my next boat is definitely not going to be an MC.
Can somebody with a CC,malibu and every other manufacturer put me to be in peace and say that this it what it is since MC in Tennessee told me that EVERY manufacturer will NOT warranty gelcoat cracks that are cosmetic.
Sorry for such a long post,I did try to make it as short as possible but there is so much more that I'm upset about and very disappointed at MC all together.
Maybe it's time for me to start looking at an EPIC.
