Tracker Hull Problems

I know...I know I should have done my reserch and not purchased a Tracker Grizzly four years ago......Went to put the boat in after sitting since Labor day only to find that the aluminum skin next to the keel had split. Did not hit anything and there was no dents or damage where the crack appeared. Called Tracker and they told me to take it to a dealer so they could take pictures and do a water test. Waiting on the dealer to get back to me on what tracker says......Anybody eaperienced similar problmes and did the issue get resolved??????
Missed the entire early season because of this and i'm pissed.

Tracker want the whole boat returned to the factory. The entire hull seam where it attached to the keel has seperated. Tracker says it has to dismantle the boat and repair from the insides. 6 to 8 weeks turn around time....so i guess i'll miss the entire season. I going to ask Tracker for a loner boat.

I'd try to get cash out of them and split from that deal. No pun intended.

WOW I am not even going to look at tracker now! Was planning on buying a center console aluminum boat soon was looking at the g3 17cc. We hunt a 16sc now and i cannot say anything bad about it.

I have heard that about them. Some folks running a MM on that hull have had some bad results. But everybody has a bad day now and again! I'd see what they do, they might make it right. If not get out of it and get you another boat.
