Thanks Kevin, gee you had me concerned when I read your first reply. I thought I got screwed over thinking I was buying an 04 and it was not. Anyway I am sure it is an 2004.

Anyway thanks for your input as far as the performance goes. I'll do a little more checking.

I do love the boat, I was shopping for a 150 Sportster but when this came up I bought it. A little more room and I am thinking it might ride a little smoother in rough waters than the 150. Probably harder on fuel but what can you do?

If any member as the Merc. M2 Jet drive operaters manual could you send me a note-it would be greatly appreciated. (gdniwa@shaw.ca)

Where was the boat stored, if it was left in the water for longer periods of time this could of caused it. If it wasn't left in the water then I would take it to your local dealer and have them inspect it. If no foul play is suspected then I imagine this is something you could get repaired under the 5 year hull warranty. Please report back when you have chance to find out. Good luck.

Thanks Kevin
I am in Canada and this particular boat is in the U.S so I am looking at importing it. Would that have any effect on the warranty? How do they decide if it a factory flaw or cause it was in water to long? Is some blistering something to be worried about or is it just kind of cosmetic? thanks again for your help.
