Purchased this new boat in July with 9 hours on it. From day one i have had nothing but issues with it - AC leaking into sleeping birth, faulty gas gauge, major water leak between windshield and control panel floods sleeping birth, generator has worked for 45 minutes in three months, throttle arm blew out, smoke billowing from exhaust and on and on and on. Chap is not standing behind the dealer and they are telling me this is normal maintenance on a new boat. Say What? This boat had a $153K MSRP and it looks killer, but has been a total disappointment.
