yer the boat is the stacer 6.19 half cabin, the hatch has got a 1/4 inch big gap in it that water pours into but that defenatly isnt where the leaking is occuring . we hit stacer up about this and they said its a disign fault and gave him a vinyl cover but with cover on you have to walk around cab to put out anchor??
like i said the dealere took boat out with floor boards out and it was leeking in under floor somewhere but they couldnt see where? it was taken back and welded along seams here and there but didnt stop probem at all.
it aint the black flaps at back as it was leaking while underway.
staitments have been gathered off me and another bloke that i think is from another stacer dealership that witnessed the amount of water that came out at boat ramp. the office of fair traiding believe they will get him a full refund? lets hope so for his sake it isnt my boat but i and i would imagine all of u would like to see him get the refund as i think this is bloody sad u have to go to this amount of hassle to rectify a stuff up from the manufacturer,
i have heard so many complaints from people who have had similar dramas from stacer,
i feel for u all, i know i wont be recomending stacer to anyone and i hope u all dont either the fishing comunity as a whole shouldnt have to put up with companies like this with the amount of money that is spent in the persuit of catching a fish.
I will keep u all posted on the outcome of this. who knows a few more of u might want to rectify the problems u are having with same company.
Thats if he gets anywhere with claim!!!!!!!!!
Sounds right. Same people that said to take a jerry can with you for extra fuel after optioning and paying for a Nomad with 120l tank and only recieving 90l.
I'm happy with my 2004 except I think the fuel tank is just over 60 litres which is bugger all, and I generally carry an extra 40 in cans

Well as said before it would be interesting to hear a dealer's perspective on this...we all know Gary from Springwood reads the forum... how have you found Telwater's quality in recent years Gary..?
I have stacer 525 cuddy cab from 2002 and love it had no problems to date
The gap problem - The warranty manager told me to weld the hatch shut. When I asked how was I to get to the anchor - he said at least I wouldn't get water in the boat.
I was a very stressed out person going through this drama. A quote frome Seahorse "i got one. bit of bubbling paint, but hey its a mass produced boat. a tinnie, what do u expect."
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?? How about some professionalism and a decent boat for $41000.
If you have not read my origial post let me remind you_
-
DAY 1 Pick up indicator lights not working
Result - pinched wire between light assy and trailer
STILL DAY1 - drove home and two of the rubber clips had broken off the canopy.
Day3 Drove 1 km with the travel cover on - 4 rubber clips broken off.
DO you want me to go on??
What I expect is for these larger companies to start giving a shit about their products and their customers.
$41000 is a years wage so I hope you understand how frustrating this situation was. It took me a while to 'get over it'. And I still have a lot of anger toward Stacer.
For those of you that think - just get over it...Let's see you go through it.
I've had my stacer 395 for a year now, from new, it to leaked took me a while to find. Water was coming in between the drain plug housing and the alluminuim, it hadn't been sealed properly, repaired it myself no problem since

I think the most disapointing thing about telewater is that they never come onto ausfish and defened themselves to me that makes them look guilty of knowing there boats are not up to scratch. Also i know that approx six months ago it was in the paper that they had to pay a 1 million dollar fine for price fixing. I think that also tells you how they operate there boat company. How much respect would they get if they come on ausfish and said hey we got it wrong and we are going to sort out this boat for good and we will keep everyone informed on how it is all going. I will give telewater on e break and that is there is always two sides to a story well lets hear it and maybe you can gain some support and keep your brands alive.
big sell out of all stacer stock at capalaba dealer at the moment ???
looks like they maybe swapping from stacer to another brand
which they wont as if you say sorry to someone, everyone else with similar claims will sue their asses off if they dont fix theirs
bit of bad publicity versus mass payouts on warranty claims.
where sthe public apology fo price fixing? were just a statistic to them is all
Telwater has not been fined..listed for hearing on 9th March, 2009
i personally dont give a shit what they sell and if they are swapping to another manufactuer , i drive past every day and see the signs about there big stock clearence , i never said they were swapping said it looks like it , and i have been down there many a time talking to the sales guys and they all seem cool
gees some people need to chill out and not jump down everyones throat
