Also if you leave the boat in the water for extended times expect bisters to develop on the bottom not cheap to repair problem either.

Osmosis

I have owned several boats from several manufacturers and ALL have excluded osmosis from warranty. This issue is not exclusive to Sea-Doo. Most manufacturers except the high end boats do not use a barrier coat to help prevent this. That's the reason it tells you in the owners manual not to keep the boat in the water. Gelcoat is a porous coating that can absorb water and lead to blisters. Thankfully I've never had an issue with any of my Doo's but have had blisters on a few other brands.

The fact that Sea-Doo added a barrier coat to this year's boats is not an admission of a design flaw in my opinion.

That said, I would be sure to tell Sea-Doo the boat was not stored in the water EVER.
