Business ProfileforThunder Jets Boats, Inc

The 2018 Thunder *********** was purchased new in 2019. In a couple months, the kicker motor mount had issues. Although this was a known issue, Thunder Jet was slow to respond. Only after a hull crack caused the boat to leak in less than a year, did TJ correct the issue with an unauthorized repair. The 1st hull crack needed to be repaired less than a year later, and after another year is currently severely pitted. Two years after the kicker mount was fixed, it is cracking. 2 additional hull cracks are leaking. I consider this 3 year boat as a lemon and unsafe to use. It should be replaced, or I should be bought out of the boat. Thunder Jet will not provide a resolution, allow a local company to inspect the cracks, or send someone to my house to inspect cracks. They will not sign a wavier to prevent the boat from having unauthorized repairs, again, if the boat is taking to a repair facility owned by TJ's parent company. A pick up was scheduled by Thunder Jet, and no one showed up on the scheduled day. Welding aluminum makes the material weaker which will allow the cracks to happened again, and TJ has not address or discussed the root cause of the cracks. A 3 year boat with 3 hull cracks has no resale value, as it is expected to crack again, which is a safety issue. Cracking on other heavy duty aluminum boats does not seem to happen within 5 years. My insurance company has determine that the cracks are a result of a manufacturers defect and will not cover the hull cracks. I reported the current crack over 3 weeks ago, and no action has taken place. Thunder Jet has multiple pictures of the cracks.
