I recently purchased a 2005 launch 21v. I noticed after a little use that a crack has formed on the inside of the front ski locker. for those of you that aren't' familiar with the 21v there is some space between the bottom of the hull and the bottom of the ski locker, my problem lies in that space. The front of the boat is full of water from the crack in the ski locker, not a crack on the outside, my question for those of you who might know or have had a similar problem is how or what is the best way to get the water out?
the dealer said they need to remove the gas tank, take out the floor and drain the water, between $1500-$1800 for the fix and he said it would take quite some time. He also said it would be ok to drive, it would just be like extra ballast in the front. A second question is, how can that be ok for the boat? it seems like it could cause some problems?
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.
