This may seem sort of rant-ish but its really gotten on my nerves lately. My family has a 2006 Launch 24SSV gravity games edition. Ever since we have had it, there has been problem after problem, heres an abbreviated list of just recent problems:
-replace prop *one blade broke off of prop in 100ft of water* -likely not a supra issue i understand but still quite annoying.
-replace ballast pump
-replace both amps and sub, burned out
-replace one amp again
-replace tower lights twice
-repeatedly fix drivers right side panel, screw dont hold panel down
-replace 3 different speakers
-replace swim platform
These are just recent things in addition to constantly tightening screws and fixing small things that go wrong. Just last week I am driving and one side of the swim platform detached and was dragging in the water.
Yes I have been around boats since I was born and they are all going to break and have problems, its the nature of the game. I had an MC before this and had half as many problems as I have had with this boat and I have only had it for 3 years, with just over 260 hours. I just would like to know from any of you guys if this is how Supra is. Its possible I have just gotten really unlucky and would like to know if many of you have this many problems?? This would be helpful in any future purchase decisions years down the road.
Finally, just to top all of this off, I may have the most incompetent dealer in the country. Just got my boat out of the shop again, go straight to the boat ramp and the engine wont even crank. The dealer drained the dual battery setup and I had to get a jump from a nice guy while on the ramp. This is the second time they have done this in addition to wiring several things incorrectly that I have fixed on my own with little wiring experience.
Sorry for the rant just would like to know how my experience compares to other on the forum. When the boat is in full working order, I love the boat aside from a few minor things I would change. Im not looking to get on anyones nerves with this, just would like to know how my experience compares to you other guys, especially those of you with the Gravity Games editions.
