[camaroboy383]

well my buddies sv 27 hull cracked right on the deck to hull joint,,, im thinkin it is a defective hull as i have had no issues with mine cracking like that.........i noticed the boat had quite a bit of water in it,,,,so i checked it over and what do you know,,,, there is a crack about 12" long right on the joint......boat is only 2 months old if that,,,,,1/2 gal. of fuel through it.....anyone have any suggestions????? maybe jerry dunlap or grimm could chime in here and give me some advice,,,,,, of course my buddy doesnt have the receipt,,, he lost it,,, so im kinda up in the air as to what to do,,,,, i know hobbico is gonna want to see a receipt and i dont blame them....but of course it is gone...... :lol: i could fix the hull,,, but i didnt want to touch it unless i really had to. anyone else seen this hull failure?????

According to Tower, it is supposed to have a 90 day warranty...I would go back to the hobby shop he got it from and see if they would help him at all...maybe show them a canceled check, or old charge card slip to prove to the hobby shop he got it there...

alden he could always buy mine...lol. i would just repair it .. and reason be.. you can make it stronger than before..so why not do it right andmake it tougher. and as you have already found out they can use some more weight in them..later dude.

every SV hat I have seen running any decent speeds eventually starts to crack along the joint after a few crashes.

Check the seam again.. its likely the paint and not the glass joint... The paint is just not flexible enough to withstand the seam flex.
