Hole in the bottom of my new boat

[N of the rvr]

I ordered a new boat this year and picked it up a couple weeks ago. When I get it home I crawl all over it to check it out. Every thing looks great, but I found what looks like a hole right by where the prop shaft come through
the bottom of the boat. It looks like the they filled the hole with resin. My question is, was this a screw up that they tried to fix or is this maybe a pilot hole or something they use in rigging to get things lined up?

Looks like a flaw / pop in the gel coat to me. No big deal.

Looks like a small air void between the Gel and laminate no big deal a little patch paste and will be good as new. Well in this case better than new. It happens even in the best builders most of the time they will try to catch them before delivery.

Agree with what's been said above. They can do a quick repair and dab some gel there.

I let the dealer make the call to be safe.....At least they will be aware of it if something goes bad later on and have it on record.

What kind of boat is that? Pretty cool how they recessed the prop shaft.

I've got a nautique and it has the recessed shift like that

I ordered a Sanger Barefooter DXII. We are skiers and spend all of our time at the house boat so I thought it was time to get some thing that suited our needs a little better. I sold my hallett 210 and a couple other boats I had and ordred something new. View attachment 391654 View attachment 391654

Dig it. Nothing like skiing behind a good ski boat.

I have the same boat, but a `96. Love it! 20 gallon fuel capacity is my only bitch. A pair of 350# bags on either side of the motor will give you an excellent wake for wake boarding and 2 more seats.

I don't think the new boats require bags anymore???

Aren't they all equipped with some kind of wake throwing system?

We don't have any wake boarders in the family, only skiers and barefooters so no bags for us. This one has a 29 gal tank. The last DXII I had only had 20 and we couldn't make it through the day

No wake throwing system on this one, but it does have a "barefoot Plate" for a nicer table

I wonder if I can get an upgrade? Time to call Sanger. :thumbup:

I hear you on the bags. Just so you know the wake with a little weight is excellent.

H20, the DXII is a ski/barefoot boat with no ballast tanks. It just happens to make a great crossover boat that everyone can ride behind no matter what they strap into. It also has a cavern of storage under the deck.
