crack in hull

[cityman]

need help , 2005 21 foot truimph, i have a crack in bottom dead center at back of boat headed towards front it in the v part ,between the short runners, its 14 inches at the moment,what are my options ,i just bought this boat,dealer ship lost title i have only had it in water two months,

First thing I would do is call dealer. Second, call Triumph.

You do not state if you purchased the boat new or used, but guessing used. Did you transfer the lifetime warranty to you?

I have a 2005 210CC, and have not seen any cracks, knock on wood.

Good luck with your quest. No one wants to see or hear about problems like this.

Wonder what original owner did to cause the problem. I always thought that inadequate support would cause problems, but again I was thinking toward the bow not the stern. If your boat was stored on a rack, and a rack not constructed per the trailer specifications, that may be the cause, but again, I am just guessing.

time will tell, just got off phone with big guy,told me to mark a place at end of stress crack,rub it with marker go to morehead as planed, run the crap out of it,see if crack moves.i did buy it used,transferd warranty,he does not think its possable to crack the hull.

I checked with the factory on this and they said to call Russ, the Service Manager at Triumph, with the dealer name and details and they will see what they can do about this.

turns out the boat dealer ship did not transfer warranty, i am 2nd owener, first and 2nd owener get warranty,factory says no way to crack bottom of hull,i have a vision problem i hope there right,they told me to go on to big rock sat at morehead keep boat in water all day and watch for leak after bottom of boat dries,if it leaks met the guy at merritt marine????

[NCangler]

If you do have a crack/leak and you take it to Carl Merritt it will be fixed. Carl is a master dealer and before he took on the Triumph Boat line (Merritt Marine was the first dealer I believe when they were Logic Boats) he was also a master at fiberglass and is one the best marine engine guys you'll ever meet. Good folks.

Have a great time on the water this weekend and catch em up!

Triumph may still honor the warranty as they did on my 2002 190 bay--especially if it is a cronic problem on that model. They cal it a "good will" warranty repair.

Talk to Bryant at Triumph

After selling almost 400 boats and being the master repair dealer for the northeast I have not seen one crack yet and I run my boat hard. So............... if it is and your warranty is valid, easy fix and the factory will take care of it. If you do not have a valid warranty for what ever reason they may charge for the repair but still an easy fix. These things just weld up nice.
