So as I was washing the boat today I noticed something that made my gut sink. Hopefully it’s not what I think it is but here is the scoop. My “saltwater series” decals are peeling at the edges and they are bringing the paint with them!!! It looks and feels like bare aluminum behind them and it looks like metallic blue paint on the backside of the decal. 810D4579-EBA0-4FDD-878C-6113987DAE6B.jpeg810D4579-EBA0-4FDD-878C-6113987DAE6B.jpeg59397FC6-79A5-4879-877D-6EF6A3DD2E4E.jpeg11B124BF-5CA7-4348-915B-1FC492E0DF23.jpegF470770B-7FD9-455E-AACC-2041FE37F4FB.jpeg

I hope not. I’m not seeing that yet but let me know what happens.
 
Ugh. That really sucks. A sticker is one thing. Paint is a million times worse. Sorry to hear this!
 
I’ll add it to the warranty items list and call the dealer. Always something.

Be very careful at the dealer ,you know what can happen .;)
 
I don’t see myself accidentally walking out with a new one! I would imagine the fix for this would be new panels correct? I’m going to call the dealer this afternoon.
 
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully the warranty will cover it.
 
Pictures were sent to the dealer so just waiting to hear back on where we go next. Stay tuned!
 
Yikes! That's the darnedest thing I've ever seen but thank goodness it happened while you still have a warranty. Of course, keep us posted on how it plays out.
 
Ha! I had to laugh at your 1st sentence..... "I was washing the boat today". My boat is buried under shrinkwrap and our high was 40-42 today. Kinda chilly after 70's last week. Let us know what the dealer says....
 
Had to wash it after going for a 44 mile cruise on Sunday with some family in town. Worked our way down the intracoastal. Hit 500 hours on the boat. Went past Tiger Woods house, saw some nice yachts. Caught some fish. Not bad for a January day!

We could see it from our place as well! The day launches are easier to see vs the night ones for us. Pretty cool to see activity again from the space coast
 
Hey guys, thanks for sharing your warm weather boating pictures with us weather challenged folks to the north! It's nice to see water and the sun every now and then...
