I'm wondering if those of you who have purchased a brand new Sea Ray have experienced an abundance of construction debris in your new boat?
Since taking possession of our factory new 2008 330 last summer, I have removed 71 stainless steel screws of various size. When I found my first one last year I was a bit alarmed, thinking that it had fallen out or had not been installed in the first place. Since then, my conclusion is that an enormous amount of these get dropped during the construction process and the technicians simply do not bend over to pick them up.
All told, I have removed the 71 stainless screws, a dozen or more bolts several nuts, washers and a handful of brand new wire ties. (I've made pretty good gas money sellling these off to Rinker owners at our marina who need to tighten things up a bit. LOL!!)
On top of this, the sawdust, loose fiberglass debris,broken wire ties and pieces of electrical tape in the bildge and cockpit are amazing.
It would seem that Sea Ray is missing a step in the build process. These boats should not be this dirty upon delivery. I do not think it should be part of the dealers pre-delivery prep to remove this type of debris- the boat should arrive in better shape from the factory IMHO.:huh:
