I purchased a brand new 2023 Superjet out of the crate and put about 6 hours on the ski before winterizing it. While I was looking for any remaining water in the engine compartment, I discovered cracks in the fiberglass near the back left motor mount (if the rider is looking forward standing on the ski). I spent 11 hours dropping the ski off and picking it back up from the dealership as they were going to have the rep out to look at the cracks. Instead, they only took more of the same pictures I had sent them 8 months earlier and never had the rep come out. Yamaha says the cracks are cosmetic and they won’t do anything to remedy the situation. Ray C’s Extreme in Lapeer, MI won’t stand behind it either, as of now. Hours of engine vibration and wave impacts over the years will no doubt make these cracks larger and cause problems. I wouldn’t sell the unit without disclosing these cracks to a buyer and I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind buying the machine after they are made aware of this. The dealer didn’t disclose the cracks; if they had, I never would have purchased the ski. Please check your Superjet and let me know if you have the same issue. This dealership is 3 for 3 for having cracked units that I’m aware of. Thank you for letting me know.

I don't know much about fiberglass, but they do look very "on the surface" to me... I would for sure stay on Yamaha's a** though.
