My 2000 Air Nautique has no cracks of any type anywhere on the boat with 510 hours. I was considering a Supra as a replacement and am glad I researched it first.

I looked at many used boats before I purchased my Supra ranging from Tige to Mastercraft. All of these boats had some type of gel coat cracking going on. Its not only a "Supra" issue. Most people that use there boat eventually will develop some type of stress cracks in there gel coat.
When I was looking at boats, all of the cracks were around the tower legs and near the swim platform brackets. Obviously these areas take a lot of weight and pulling which is no surprise why there would be stress cracks in the gel coat. If you talk to anyone who knows about gel coats this is purely a cosmetic issue and will not compromise the gel coat/hull/top deck performance.
Do you own a Supra? and not to make you feel bad, but I have a friend with a 2005 Nautique that has stress cracks in his tower mounts.Quote:
