    It did to me. Fiberglass will absorb water and the foam will mildew. If the water stays their the gel coat will eventually fail. Their is a chance the hull /deck joint will continue to fail from vibrations, hull flex... It probably won't fail while you own it. But I couldn't pass along the issue to someone else. It was a relatively easy and inexpensive fix. In addition, I learned how to lay fiberglass and epoxy.

    The inside/bilge of my boat always has standing water (4-12 inches). I'm in a wet slip 5-6 months, then rain and snow while in storage. If you have mildew on the seats you should add vents to the cover.

    Skier's choice isn't too concerned because it's not hurting anything and there's really no impact. The dealer on the other hand sees $$$ out of your pocket.

    If you cut holes in the rear sections you'd find water and soaked foam as well, just the nature of boats. Just think you guys are over worrying.

    Not when other boats are designed never to have this issue.

    SC is gambling that the fiberglass, gelcoat and foam won't fail during the first ownership. It will eventually fail.

    I think there are more than a couple wet boats from that Era. I'm not sure if sc has acknowledged it or not. I agree it's not right, though.

    Any new boat should be easily covered under warranty.

    There's a reason boats newer boat don't use wood stingers, anymore. They used rot and you'd have to replace them. It's the first thing you need to check on an older boat. Fiberglass isn't going to rot, or gelcoat blistering with the usage type you have.

    Almost all manufacturers use ITW Plexus to create a permanent watertight bond between the hull and deck of each boat. This prevents water from finding its way into the foam and stringer system and prevents hull/deck separation. SC did not start using plexus as soon as other manufacturers and at least on my 2008 was not used (per SC). All manufacturers have seen this issue. However, they have not seen it to the extent that SC has. I have to add to add that John Buescher -
    Moomba Support was extremely helpful answering all my questions and walking me through how to uncover the real issue and how to solve the problem. No other boat manufacturer I have ever owned would have spent that much time and provided such outstanding customer support. This is why I would not hesitate to buy another Moomba. I doubt you'll find another manufacturer that care enough to help out a 2nd owner of an 8 year old boat. Top Notch!!
