Going to venture to guess this was wet slipped? See it all the time with wet slipped boats that don't have a bottom coat.
 
Yes is was for 3 month ...

my 2010 was wetslip for about the same Time for 4-5 years and never had that problem ...

Best of luck! Is yamaha covering the fix?
 
Waiting the details of the repair but it look like they will Covered it
 
Same issue with mine 2022 AR 212 XD purchased at a dealer in Quebec paint Bubbles throughout the hull only had the boat for 3 months... dealer is telling me that they are starting to have a lot morcoming in as boats are being pulled out of the water

Dealer said Yamaha will take care of it but they are trying to figure out the best course of action supposedly its with Yamaha Japan now due to how wide spread this issue is.

Your Boat was in water for that 3 months or you were taking out of the water evreytime?
 
Nobody in the USA ?? With a 2022 JetBoat have that problem ???
 
I'm completely unhappy with this situation Yamaha should reimburse us our money back this is completely unacceptable to have such a problem....
 
I agree but probably fixable, if i have ni further problem after the repair i'll be ok with that ...

did you talk to YamahaCanada about it ?
 
Luckily caught within the first 12 months or Yamaha would have likely bucked covering the fix.

On a similar but much less severe note, they took care of a few gel coat cracks that I reported and took pictures of within the first year of ownership. Nothing like all those bubbles of course, but at least they did cover it. And lucky for me I documented the issue with the dealer via emails and it was on a couple work orders, because my dealer never addressed it in the first year, and when I brought it up as having not been fixed after the first off-season, yamaha tried to initially deny the claim since they thought it was reported after the manufacturer warranty had expired. Always good to document everything in writing and with pics/vids if possible. Saved me a few times!

I called them 3 weeks ago and they were unaware of the problem I'm sure they do now
 
Update ????? some bubbles on the white part close to the tower

i am getting more worried...
