Baller skibug Posted December 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 1, 2011 Anyone have any issues with soft spots in the floor of a boat in the 190 or 197 series? We have multiple "soft spots" like delaminations in the floor of our boat. It is covered under warranty and is said not to be an isolated instance. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and subsequent factory suggested repair performed? Results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted December 1, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have a 2005 197 TT -- never an issue with the floor. Hadn't heard of anyone else with this issue either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted December 2, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 2, 2011 I have heard of this happening to other boats and what I have been told is that the foam that is under the floor has come unglued and that is causing the soft spot. I would call Master Craft directly and talkwith them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted December 3, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted December 3, 2011 dave2ball, thanks for the comments. I contacted the factory in July to document the issue but didn't want the boat laid up during ski season; so, I am actually bringing it to the dealer to get it fixed in two weeks (covered by warranty). I just wondered if there were any others out there. I am assuming that they will have to replace the carpet, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted December 3, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2011 From what I have been told there are 2 ways to do this. First the the whole floor may have to come up depending on where the soft spot is and how big it is. Second they may just drill a hole and inject glue to take care of the problem. As fare as carpet I am not sure how MC are built as far as the floor but I would guess you may get new carpet. If not make sure that the patch job or where the new and old carpets come together make sure that the do a good seam. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted December 3, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted December 3, 2011 There are multiple soft spots (scattered) and one of them runs about 4 inches wide for about 1.5 feet. The last thing I wan is carpet that looks like a quilt. I am hoping that they make it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted December 3, 2011 Baller Share Posted December 3, 2011 I would be on MC like white on rice If it is not right have them redo it. Bad service travels fast now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
