Now I get to remove it, drill new holes to move it about an 1.5" back. What, the actual, ****. Over.
Every single item that they touched has been screwed up. Hotfoot, console GPS unit, bow GPS unit, never purged the engine mounted oil tang (which leads me to believe they never water tested the boat before delivery), trailer lugs weren't torqued or even really tightened, trailer coupler not adjusted, refused to help with a defective gator mount for the troller, scratches on the boat that weren't fixed prior to deliver, boat delivered to me looking like it had been parked under a tree uncovered for a month, lied to my face about my passenger console coming in (Triton confirmed this), waited weeks to order my cover, scratched the gel when they installed the passenger console.
That's just what the dealer did. They're on these forums and know who they are.
Every screw on my boat was loose or over-tightened to strip the fiberglass it was screwed in to. I epoxied speed clips behind every screw hole to fix. Passenger seat mount was loose, found to have been secured with regular nuts that came loose. Replaced nuts with nylocks. Dash rocker switches were garbage, broke easily. Replaced all with rotary switches. Cranking battery tray came loose. Replaced tray, epoxied down and used larger screws to secure. Rivets on the center console lid were all loose. Drilled out and replaced. Steering wheel center cap not held in by anything. Flew out while trailering. Twice.l
Between my dealer and Triton my new boat was a lot of work to make right.
