Gladstron hull trouble

wynndog · 08-04-2014, 05:44 PM

Hi'
I just bought my first boat from Melvin Village Marina. They were great, BUT the 2001 Gladstron 17' 135 merc i/o, has hull cracks & bubbles I could peel off. This dealer, and the Gladstron dealer Macallum , said the boat won't take on water and it will be ok. Now, after(maybe mistake) buying it; different web sites say the VEC COATING IS TROUBLE,and Gladstron was sold and there is no limited warranty for me. Do I just wait for it to sink and call the insurance co. or can anyone help?? Gillan said they could fix it for $2000. Not what I want to hear.
