Awesome. Thanks for the pics. I’ll show this to the fiberglass shop
He hasn’t said no. We are in communication
I'll get progress pics from the shop (assuming he's willing). He doesn't seem concerned at all and does warranty work for a few manufacturers.
I called Reynolds. They said they certainly could send it to Ranger on the truck and get it back next time they get a delivery but, A) not sure what the turn around would be but definitely several...
working on this too
That would be 5856 miles total. There and back twice. That's roughly $1200 in diesel, nevermind hotels, food, and missing work. I agree having ranger fix it would be ideal but it's simply not...
whoa! crazy coincidence but Sam from Ranger just called me back from a message I had left a few days ago. He confirmed I am not covered under warranty because A) i's 13 years old and B) i'm the 3rd...
Oh sorry, I did that. The dealership in Raymond, ME called on my behalf
Way too far to drive. I'm bringing it to Northeast Fiberglass in Laconia. They do warranty work for several local dealers.
I am still planning to bring it to be repaired next week. Though I do feel it would be ok to operate like this temporarily.

”fixed” temporarily. I’m 240lb and I stood on the engine and bounced. It didn’t budge.
Ranger will not cover the repair. Not surprised and I don't blame them. It is going to a fiberglass shop next week.
yes, sorry, i was typing that on my phone. I meant i would sandwich it together just so i can safely get it to the repair shop. I'm waiting for my local ranger dealer's service manager to call me...

I mean, the top of the transom and the bottom of the splash well aren’t supposed to be permanently fiberglass together. The rest of the transom is of course connected to the hull.
I took...
After looking more closely at it tonight, it appears the transom itself is delaminated and never was meant to be attached to the hull.
I've left 2 messages for Joey at Ranger with no call back yet (it's only been since friday pm). I spoke to the previous owner this morning and he claims he was unaware. I'm really hoping Ranger...
honestly I barely looked at it. I saw a ton of pics and like an idiot trusted the guy. I’m calling him tomorrow since he’s stopped answering my texts. I’m really just hoping he will be a decent...
Maybe a month
No. It’s very bad. Completely detached from the hull

Oh he 100% knew. It’s clear someone tried to caulk it at some point. He stopped responding to my texts. I will seek legal counsel on Monday
The trim piece was there when I bought it. It broke off yesterday. I’m trying to get the previous owner to do the right thing. If not I will make sure you all know who it is.
I got a quote...
