really sorry to hear that Doug and I hope the sun shines again on you soon
Seeing as I have now changed neighbours I can confirm I know of a Brand New Sealine SC35 ( the hard top one) now a little over a year old that has also been a pup. Leaked more than an open top one and the leaks went all the way through the boat.
it was from Peters which apparently meant no warranty, sealine were reluctant to get involved as Peters had done a deal to deal with warranty claims and then went bust leaving this owner high and dry.............only not so dry !
I didnt see the boat used once, either to sleep on or cast off, it was a real pup.
