I just went thru this with my 2013 ranger. I took it to my dealer to get fixed and his fiber glass guy couldn't fix it so ranger sent it to the factory for 30 days picked it up and cracks are gone and had brand new carpet when I picked it up. I would contact the factory. If they refuse to fix I would call the lemon lawyers in Houston with your case. You don't have to sue them, but they can really help you get help from factory!!

Been talking about Skeeters and Stress Cracks for years.
Hopefully one day they will get this issue fixed......

All brands can get cracks. If this is really true, which I will doubt until the OP shows pics, take it to Kilgore and i'm sure Skeeter will fix these problems to your satisfaction. Or you can just get on the internet and cry about it. I own an 04 ZX225 with one little cosmetic crack where the console meets the front deck. My dad owns an 08 ZX250 that doesn't have a single crack on it anywhere. Who is your dealer?

Skeeter will cover the stress cracks for 3 years. After that you are on your own. Sold my 21i for that reason.

BassCat has repaired gel coat cracks well above and beyond expectations. They have been known to build customers a new boat if it was found to be a BCB issue and not totally a customer induced neglect and abuse. They have tattle tells incorporated in the build for this purpose. Some folks hate it that they do because they can't hide the fact that they have subjected their boat to some amazing abuses. BassCat in my experience is light years ahead of the rest in this category.
