hurricane recall notice

Completely agree with you sullmate. You gotta wonder just how they intend to install this so called foam 'kit' involving 4 cubic feet to the starboard and another 2.5 cubic feet to the port stern area since it's dealer mechanics doing the work and not the factory itself. If they intend to shoot spray foam inside the hull after drilling access holes in it then it's possible that this could affect water drainage to the bilge area. If it's not spray foam then to install sheets they have to do some serious dissembling of the deck to hull seam to get to the area needed. Either way I am not very happy with the whole thing at all because this never should have happened in the first place. Somebody really dropped the ball here. It would be nice to hear some kind of official informational response to SD 187 owners from Hurricane on this forum about what is actually involved with the fix and do they intend to train the dealer mechanics as to the proper repair procedures involved so it is done correctly.

I believe the only way to get ourselves taken care of is a Class Action suit. Our local dealer will not be doing any recall repairs. So they have simply washed their hands of this. I have had several calls with Doug who is coordinating the repairs from Texas but I continue to get excuses. Nothing is going to happen for weeks or months. We want our money back. We don't want this boat now. Even if they say they fixed it I don't trust it any longer. How can we all get together and get a suit going?

So what happens if the boat gets swamped or the hull gets compromised from hitting an obstruction at speed? It goes turtle because of the foam inbalance and turns into a submarine? Scary thought. On the official Hurricane website concerning construction of ALL of their boats it clearly states that every available cavity is filled with closed cell urethane foam floatation for added safety and convenience. According to them, this is a good reason why you should choose Hurricane over other boat manufacturers. Sounds wonderful, I took them at their word, and was one of the deciding factors in buying my boat in the first place. Now they are officially admitting in this letter from Godfrey that their past quality control was obviously flawed and telling me not to sell it. So here we have a boat that fails Coast Guard certification but the manufacturer put a sticker in the cockpit stating otherwise. Wow, if that isn't the cat's meow. Consumer lawyers should have a field day with this one. I really wasn't planning on selling it because I actually like the boat but now even if I wanted to, who is going to buy it? So much for resale value.  I wonder how this recall came about. Did one actually sink?

To put this in perspective if the boat was 1 foot longer the coast guard doesn't care about flotation is there and it can sink like a rock.

I am becoming increasingly frustrated with Godfrey Marine as many Hurricane boat owners have stated in this forum. 
I contacted my dealer as well as another close by dealer and neither have any understanding when the repair kits will be provided to resolve this issue. It is fast approaching 90 days since we received the initial notice of the problem.
We were notified that we were at risk of using our boats and we were instructed not to sell our boats. Then Godfrey Marine has become silent with information. I also contacted Doug, who is supposedly responsible for managing the repair process, by phone and email. I ask
only that he get back to me with some estimate as to when the repair kits will be available to make the needed
repair. It’s been almost three weeks and I’ve heard nothing. Not sure what our next action should be, but
anyone considering buying a boat from Godfrey Marine should be aware of the poor customer support and defective products.
