| Call the manufacturer, that is seriously odd. Sounds like the glass expanded for some reason (or contracted)... | ||

| if the spider cracks are superficial & just in the gell coat most manufacturers will say YOYO....(you're on your own) structural glass problems should be waranteed for the full term. sounds superficial, get an opinion from your dealer...(glacier bay??) either way they're well above the water line. any spider cracks in the blue portion of your hull should really stand out with a good of wax!  either way not something we like to see on our boats. good luck | ||

| Just spoke with the dealer, They said the same as special k, yet, there was a known problem on 04-05 polar boats on superficial spider cracks. So, they are working with dealers/customers to repair these problems as a public relations situation. It doesnt hurt that i am a charter boat,with a website that gets 28,000 hits a year, and a network of boaters on NBS$. i need to take dig photos and a short letter and they will work to fix it. We'll see | ||

| That's the way to use your charm Chuck. Typically as stated they aren't structural at all. Usually just the gel. But they aren't pretty especially on a 2 or 3 year old hull  Hope they fix it up right for you. Armand | ||

| UPDATE SPOKE WITH DIAMOND MARINE, THEY SAID POLAR WILL NO STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT. BESDIES THAT THE WARRANTY IS FOR 1 YEAR ON ORIGINAL OWNER, THEY SAID THE CRACKS OBVIOUSLY CAME FROM THE OPERATOR OF THE BOAT HITTING THINGS WITH THE RUBRAIL CAUSING THE SPIDER CRACKS. I GUESS THEY FORGOT WHO THE PERATOR WAS, AND THE CREDENTIALS HE CARRIES. I WILL BE DEDICATING MY WEBSITE TO MY BOAT BY THE WEEKEND, IN THE MEAN TIME, YOU CAN SEE THE CRACKS ON THE HULL AT MY WEBSITE WWW.***************.COM THERE IS A LINK ON MY HOME PAGE TELLING THE POLAR REP TO CLICK THERE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CLICK THAT LINK. IT ALSO SHOWS A GRAPH OF UNIQUE HITS MY WEBSITE GETS...... I AM SORRY TO DO THE BASHING HERE, IN THE FUTURE ALL BASHING WILL BE DONE ON MY OWN WEBSITE... WWW.***************.COM | ||

| WOW those are nasty!!! I had a problem like that with Mckee Craft. the color was called off white. it looked more like a light yellow or cream color.I bought it brand new after the first season i was cleaning it up to have the cover put on it and I found streaks in the color. like it was wearing off. It kinda looked like zebra stripes. we called the builder and he said cover it for the winter and they would look at it in the spring. Spring comes and they were worse. we took pictures , sent emails, took it up to the dealer. at this point i was pissed. they told me that that happens to that color and there is nothing they can do about it. that color is the only color they made the boats in. so they stuck it to me so I sold the boat and took a $10,000 hit on it.
