KWB is right, if there is a problem, regardless of the manufacturer, have a talk with them, don't come in with guns blazing though. When you buy a boat, you are also buying into a relationship, treat it as such and give the other side a chance to make the situation right. Unlike automobiles, when you never really talk to the factory, most all of us can contact the factory and reach an authority of the company and get decisions made rather rapidly.
I too, think that the bashing without warrant should stop. I would also like to see some of the boasting lay off a little bit as there are some that can do a better job of backing up their numbers than others. One thing that I have learned is that there is always someone out there that is faster than you!
HTM builds a nice boat. So do many other MFGs. We gotta all learn to get along!
