Sounds like Fineline is not the issue here. Fineline was beyond awesome when I needed some warranty stuff done and I had a horrible local dealer when that was happening. The factory actually went out of their way and approved me working thru another dealer due to that (I did not bash the dealer either, just explained everything and asked if possible to go to someone else....to their credit they read between the lines and approved it). Dealer gets paid for warranty repairs and if you bought the boat from them new they have no excuse to not make you a priority and get you back on water asap. Course whether they can give you a loaner boat while yours is being fixed depends on dealer size and their motivation to KEEP you as a customer. I now have a great local Centurion dealer and my boat has been great (2014 SV244). Thankfully my warranty issues were mostly cosmetic and I arranged to have my stuff addressed during layup. I think once you get these issues taken care of you are likely to have a great boat tho I know there is little comfort hearing that while weather is still nice and you should be using the boat. Nicole Turpin is super nice, she is who I dealt with at the Fineline factory when I was getting my issues ironed out in 2017, I recently spoke to her so know she is still there. Very responsive by phone and email, she would be a good person to speak to if you have not already started talks with someone else. Nicole Turpin ..... NTurpin@centurion-supreme.com For what its worth, I was careful to be very nice and explain the issues knowing my problem was the dealer and not the factory as well as the fact that the issues I was having were things that Fineline buys from 3rd parties. So it comes down to, how does Fineline handle the warranty process. For me, they have been top of the line and I am a Fineline customer for life. Most new boats have some issues to work thru tho you seem to be getting more than your share.

Yes, you can check out Lake Mead, Lake Powell, and Havasu too.

I love these old boats. My classic boat is a Ski Nautique (1980), but God, I love these old boats.
