We purchased our ex-demo Rinker 232 cuddy 05 model, in late April this year, We've just noticed since taking her out for the first time. Whilst polishing, there seems to be two spider web looking cracks,an inch in diameter, six inches vertically apart, the position is under the beading of the blue hull, this is inline to the cuddy shelf on the starboard side. About a foot in front of the centre cleat. It is as if there are two fixing screws or bolts pressing against from the inside. Since noticing the cracks, I can now see a repair has already been done on the port side in exactly the same spot. I should imagine the gel coat repair was done by the factory. Has anyone had any similar experiences with this problem before, and how was the matter dealt with on a five year hull warranty? Any reply would be greatly appreciated on this matter. Many Thanks Neil Koenig.
