They Recalled my boat!

They want me to take my boat up to d&R Sports and give them my boat so they can put a better floating devic in my boat. They say that it may not need it bu tthe coast guard put out the recall. I just put in a deck, carpet, trolling motor mount, etc. I wonder what they are going to do.

Here it is fishing season and the boat is finally ready and I get a recall.

I got a recall for my 1995 Smokercraft and responded. I was supposed to take it to the dealer and they said 2 weeks. I ordered the recall kit from Smokercraft. They sent me 5 pieces of styrofoam and 2 aluminum plates with some rivets. I ended up filling my storage spaces with the foam and lost about 80% of the storage space in the rear compartments. Better than capsizing in rough seas though. I sent a scathing letter after losing much of my storage space (one of the main reasons I opted for this boat), and they sent me a jacket, hat, and some stickers with an apology. I also had to change the capacity plate with new load limits and fill out a recall compliance certificate and sign it.

That is all a bunch of crap. I didnt buy the boat to put a bunch of money in it and then have them change the boat. I wonder if they will give me a new boat.

What kind of boat is the recall on. We got a boat from them last summer. I hope it's not one being recalled.

Winterover, check it out at the link in the sticky post at the top of the forum.

The boat is a 1648 Tracker Grizzley. I guess they have to put more foam in the boat. Its not to keep a float, but to make sure it floats if water gets in the boat.

I had a recall on my boat as well. I have the fisher 1648 all weld which I believe is the same shell as the grizzly. Supposedly they have to add flotation in the back of the boat. The dealer said it is about an hour job. I am just worried that the dealer is going to do a cobble job! We'll see as I have an appt. to take it in on March 4th.

Buckmaster.......let me know the outcome of your recall!! I will put a b*&ch if they are going to compensate me for my troubles!

[sillyburt]

they recalled my 1648 grizzly also and have to take it in to get checked. let us know how it goes when you take your boat in!!

Oh boy,
Here we go again...tracker/grizzly/fisher...
sorry to hear it. I got RID of mine last year after the hull FAILED. What a terrible outfit to do "bussiness" with.

Just got my boat back from the recall, and I called Tracker and bitched them out, so they are going to pay for my mileage. I thought that was decent. They put more floatation in the bow, and in the back. What a pain in the butt.
