I just picked up my 1710. Everything about it is exactly the way I wanted, color scheme, vinyl floors, 90hp SHO outboard, center rod locker,……wait. The center rod locker has issues. I noticed the problem when I picked it up and pointed it out. The dealer more or less passed on fixing it. So, assuming I would have trouble finding the same boat with same price this year I towed it home, 4 hours away. The issue is with how the sheet metal structure under the locker door was built. It’s about 5/16” too tall, making the hatch higher than the deck when it should be flush. It angles upward towards the stern when closed. I can see that the flange on the bottom of the rod locker was bent at the wrong spot, but apparently it was good enough for QC. G3 won’t tell me if they can fix it under warranty until the dealer inspects it, again. I want it fixed but am not crazy about towing it 4 hours away to let it sit for who knows how long to maybe get fixed. Anyway, I’m a little irritated. Maybe I should of got on the waiting list for a Stinger.
