I have read and heard of water ingestion problems on these boats (after i bought a 98, 28') and I am having second thoughts on even owning one.
I called a local mechanic in Wilm. NC to get a price on some general maintenace issues (as I don't have the time) and installing a fresh water washout valve and he said he wants no part of working on CC boats. He gave me a 20 minute rundown on the phone as to why these boats are a lousy design and recommended I sell it. He stated that if you get over 200 hrs on a replaced engine you are lucky and said short of running the hell outta these boats you will be replacing engines.
Are these boats really that bad with water issues? I was surprised when a mechanic turned down work and said he just wants no parts of any CC boat as its too much liabilty for him.
