We ordered a 2022 255XD and took delivery of it in June of 2022. We wet slipped the boat for approximately 3 week increments between cleanings putting only 14 hours on the boat throughout the season. At the end of the season we decided to trade the boat in for a pontoon as we figured it would suit our boating situation much better than the 255XD was. Upon pulling the boat and cleaning it to deliver it for trade in late October of 2022 we noticed the gelcoat blistering and immediately contacted the marina we purchased the 255 from. We were told by the dealer that Yamaha does not have to warranty this but they may in "good faith" and to fill out an Osmotic Blistering Questionnaire that Yamaha provided. This was submitted on November 14th of 2022 and the dealer told me to be patient and wait for a response. I reached out periodically and the dealer said that they hadn't heard from Yamaha, but I should be happy with regards to this because that means they are considering the possibility of covering this problem. On Feb 6, 2023 the dealer finally got back to me with a response from Yamaha stating they were aware of the issue and Yamaha planned to correct this issue on our boat. The dealer then stated if we got the boat to them than they would," guarantee priority service in their shop and get our boat right in for the work to be done." We then had the boat fully detailed and delivered it to the dealer on Feb 12, 2023 just 6 days later so this could be squared up promptly and get back to us while they had nothing going on at the marina for the trade in we had penned up in November. I reached out several times with no response and wasn't overly worried as it was still quite a bit of time before the season. Finally in mid-March the dealer called me to say the work on the boat was approved, and they started working on it that day, to my surprise as I was told it was already approved and they would get the boat back to me asap. Fast forward to June of 2023......both myself and the the dealer I was trading the boat in to were both trying to contact the Yamaha dealer many times with responses of the dealer being super busy now that we were in season and it was all done but the boat just had to be wet sanded, polished and would be good to go after the weekend. Another week and a half went by and I personally went to put eyes on the boat, which was no where near getting gelcoat. I got a handful more of complaints from the dealer about how Yamaha was holding them up, just as they have done everytime I contacted them. They said they guaranteed that I would have the boat within a 2 week timeframe and as has been through this whole process I was at the dealers mercy as I didn't really seem to have many options. On June 23rd, after the 2 week deadline the dealer said the boat was not ready once again but said they were going as fast as they could. On the 29th of June, 2023 they blamed Yamaha once again and said they messed up 3 times on the gelcoat and it is a disaster and they almost "threw in the towel" on this whole thing. So here we are with no boat that has 14 hours on it and my short New England 2023 season is 3/5 gone while at the same time losing value on this boat everyday that has been at the Yamaha dealer since February 12, 2023 for a gelcoat repair. I contacted the dealer once again and said this time I am done with the fact that Yamaha, according to them, has postponed a whole season of my boating so it is time for them to discuss with Yamaha how this whole fiasco is to be remedied. I am thinking I have been well more than reasonable in this whole situation and not only have lost a season of boating but also have been hit hard financially with the investment I made in this boat. We even purchased a jetski so we could at least get our son out on the water. The irony and craziest part is that i purchased this new boat with YES warranty so we would not have to deal with problems and not have any downtime in our short boating season with my family and have had our worst boating season ever!!!!
