All,

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced cracking in one of the two places I am seeing it on my 2004 ZX225.

1) Spider cracks under the chrome rail on the driver side of the boat. This cracking seems to get a little worse everytime I run on rough water. Had the boat to the dealer and they think it may be a defect but Skeeter will not cover it because the boat is a Federation tournament boat.

2) On the front under the trolling motor mounts (Motorguide 82lb). The cracks seem to come out from the holes drilled for mount. I also have one crack coming out from around where the light socket is screwed in.

Besides this, the boat is flawless. I am just wondering if this is normal for this boat, or is it that since this was manufactured for tourney use, it is held to a lower standard? My previous Skeeter 1993 Z150 did not even have the first crack on it and it was used by me in the same conditions.
