Searunner, I'm not sure why you are so disapointed [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img], the dealer not you found the defect, brought it to your attention and they are getting it repaired, I do not consider their actions to this point as unresponsive. No one wants to miss a fishing trip but everyone has had that happen. from what I have read and observed, Key West makes a fine boat. Good Luck, Stan
