Unfortunately, I’m back again with the same story that just got longer...

Most of you know me already, and know that I own the Mastercraft X-Star with the custom barbwire paint job that my parents got for me. About 3 months after I purchased the boat I started having some spider cracks appear in the bow of the boat. I immediately contacted both Mastercraft and my dealer and notified them about the problem. These spider cracks in my opinion were pretty bad, and were located in odd places on the boat. I was clueless to what was causing the cracks on my new boat. The cracks were right in the bow, right where the corner of the cushions start turning. My dealer said the cracks should not be happening, and obviously addressed the problem. After the cracks were fixed the boat was brought down to Florida. About 4 months after the cracks were fixed; I was cleaning my boat and realized that the cracks had re-appeared in the exact spot they first appeared, but there were more located in the bow near the ladder. After seeing these cracks again I was pretty upset and called Mastercraft again, as well as the dealer I purchased the boat from who fixed my cracks the first time, and another local dealer around my area. Everyone agreed that these cracks should NOT be accruing in the places they are, let alone anywhere on the boat. So, I brought the boat to my local dealer in Florida to have them fix my spider cracks for the second time. They ended up working on my boat for 3 long months (which didn’t bother me because I knew they were doing what they needed to do to fix the cracks correctly). I was told that the areas were the spider crafts were, were stronger then the factory fiberglass and gel coat that was on there to begin with. I was so excited to have my boat back, and be back on the water. Well, after using my boat for three day, my friend comes up to me and says “come look at the bow of your boat.” I did so, realizing the ALLLL the spider cracks are back!!!! I also have small spider cracks throughout the inside of my boat, as well as around the area where my tower is mounted. I am currently in contact with Mastercraft trying to work out the next step…


What do you guys think about this situation?
