how pissed would you be at this point?

[bja37]

So, I've already had to deal with picking up my boat and having the front ballast sack completely fill my brand new boats hull with 6"-8" of water and then have the engine light come on to lead them to find out the exhaust manifolds on my brand new 409 are bad and need replaced. So boat pick up is delayed for a week to fix "issues". Now today, I go out to wipe down the boat after it has rained and upon closer inspection my RZ2 graphics are already beginning to peel and are "stained" to the point were it looks like they are on the side of an oil tanker.

I haven't even taken the boat out yet!!!

From what I understand, this is an ongoing issue with the graphics on the new tige's.
I stripped my 20i of graphics the day I got it. As said by others in here.. I like mine naked.

My 2007 graphics have been coming off. I am not the original owner but have the service records that the dealer tried to get them warrantied. They did not.

That looks like something got on your boat somehow. What did you wipe it down with? Wonder if the dealer used something they weren't supposed to?

[skippabcool]

Yeah I wouldn't be very happy. A lot would depend on the attitude of the dealer as well.

[bja37]

it's only on one side and in vicinity of gas fill....

my assumption is it's the result of gas spillover...AND I'VE NEVER FILLED THE GAS YET.

only thing i've used is the Hula sample that was sent to me....and I used it on each side...so it can't be Hula.

That happened on my 20V. Had a full tank of gas and it spilled oover and stained the decals and the rub rail. Dealer warranted the decals and I did not make them replace the rub rail as I did not really care,

I have a spot or two where the graphics are peeling like the 5th picture down. I forgot to mention it when I took it back to the dealer for the 25hr service. Their suggestion was to use a dab of superglue if I remember correctly but I keep forgetting to do it. Just like yours it actually looks like the top layer of film is coming off.

What has the dealer said and did they get everything else taken care of? I've had a few issues as well but none have been substantial like yours.

I would be pretty effing mad that is for sure. They should warranty your graphics.

I think I mentioned this in your other thread but just in case I didn't. My brother bought a 2012 MB 23 TWB. At 2.5 hours the engine had a catastrophic failure. It had to be replaced. We hadn't even been on the boat yet when it happened. That occurred on April 6th the boat was finally ready on May 3rd. So it could always be worse is what I'm getting at. Just to make thugs a little worse our lake has a 15 day quarantine period so the oat is still in quarantine and still hasn't been used.

[Yessup]

I would be frustrated. I hope Tige/your dealer takes care of you. Good luck!

[Tault145]

HULK SMASH!! Best of luck man, have you heard anything from Tige or the dealer yet?

[Nobody]

This issue happened on my replacement graphics. From what I'm told, the Vinyl adhesive has a slelf life and must stay in a climate controlled environment.

[ereed969]

I had similiar problem on my old 02 21i. it was my fault though. I used a piece of pressure treated lumber to hold my cover up so the water would run off. Totaly ruined my decals on that side. I will be naked here shortly.

[JreisRZR]

The gas spillage will cause peeling, Idk if that's your situation.

TIGE is a good brand, I'm sorry that you're having issues, I'm sure they will step up for you.
