Hello all, I have a 2018 27" Sailfish CC. I love the boat EXCEPT for the 2 piece design on top of the gunnel that they fill in with a silicon caulk. I am now noticing cracks around each edge of the 2 piece design. I have been told they are gel-coat cracks and not covered under warranty and basically if repaired they will come back time after time. Has anyone experienced these cracks and if so have you had them repaired either on your own or by the factory? I appreciate any feedback.
Thank you

If you bought the boat new it carries a 10 year hull warranty. I would think stress cracks should be covered under the warranty.Good luck.

I had the same problem all over my 2014 22cc. SAILFISH did try to make right buy putting sea deck. But the problem was never fully resolved. I bought my boat new and I'm still upset that they didn't offer to just change out the hull. Good luck. Hello all, I have a 2018 27" Sailfish CC.

I got my 2007 new in 08. I've got 1100 hrs with no stress cracks worth complaining about. I guess if I really looked hard I would find one here or there. Stress cracks are not unusual they happen on all brands in different areas. It's a cosmetic issue not a structural issue.

Have a 2013 pristine 27 ft CC sailfish and have the same issues along with gel coat factory mistakes concerning hull Called and was told top side stress and spider cracking not covered and received about same answer concerning hull. After convincing them that the hull issues which are easy to tell are factory mistakes I was told to take to a sailfish dealer and have them verify. Not pleased with the quality of manufacturing and will not purchase another.

I had a 2008 2660 with 1200 hours on it and it had a few stress cracks on it but not where you mentioned. I think most boats will have some level of stress cracks here and there.

What are gelcoat factory mistakes and why did you buy it with these mistakes?
I have a 2010 with 1k hrs and dont have mistakes and hardly a stress crack.
Sorry for your troubles
