    Bottom panel

    I bought my 22SLX April of 2016 and had a piece...which covers the plywood joints to keep water from penetrating the crack, come detached on one side and was dragging the water. It has now happened twice....and dealer put additional screws in to attach them.

    2016 218SL Model

    As a follow up to my post on price of S model verse others.....dealer tells me that S models are not discounted while others are.....so 20k on S model is about equal to 25k on other models which are discounted 20% or so.
