Hey Gang,
When I was checking the trailer to make sure the trailer hull supports are in good shape. I noticed the outer hull support boards (both starboard and port sides) are not aligned straight with the hull strakes. The misalignment actually rubbed some gelcoat off of the strake on both sides and one strake has little fiberglass exposed. The rubbing caused by the end part of the board come in contact with pressure when boat come onto the trailer from water. If any of you want to see digital pixs of that, I'll be glad to - and can do tonite. Ok, my question is that, as my hull warranty is still in effect, covered by the Tracker Marine? Since the hull has no defects, it was the trailer that left some damage to the hull, it may not be honored. I don't think it is too difficult to repair the hull and realign the boards. If any of you have the same issue, let them known. My boat is '99 Nitro 700lx.
