Want a hurricane hull? Think again.

[Rennat]

I'll be updating this later tonight... But this is just the beginning.
Here are some of the pictures from inside my ski. Mind you this was brand new from hurricane direct.

And no, I don't care about them fixing this, there shouldn't even be anything to fix from a company that makes these "professionally" and I'm done dealing with them. I want people to know the "pride" and "craftsmanship" they put out.





This is under my handle pole bracket area. Nice and smooth eh?



Assuming this is suppose to be reinforcement? I'm sure it will flake off by the end of the season...





Don't mind the giant resin blob... Quality?

Professional and jetski company should not be used in the same sentence.

After 8+ years in the business they should have gotten this figured out by now. There are people building hulls in garages with very little experience coming out with better quality.

I hope you are kidding. There are ton of jetski companies that are professional and go out of there way to have great customer service.

You ARE right. But at any given time in history you could probably use one hand to count them all.

Even thebuzzard has been super helpful when buying parts.

Every company has their flaws, I thought when they changed to "Hurricane" rather than "Bob" that they left all the mess behind. The biggest thing is the stuff under the handlepole section is that part of the planning or a last minute reinforcement because of a bad one they pulled out of the molds. Hope your hull works out for you OP and that you stay with it and work your way to a hull with more satisfaction for you in the years to come.

I am and would be extremely picky purchasing a new hull. This wouldn't have pleased me if I had received it.

 

[Rennat]

After your told by the owner that "I have no problem selling that to a customer" (prior to getting my gel coat fixed).

Oh and I haven't posted the other half of my pictures. Or all the other issues....

Ride plate fit like Ray Charles made it, sealant on bulk head having holes, air pocket in the pump shoe sealant, no foam in my back tray for some reason but there is under front half of the tray.

 

[Rennat]

Here was my bottom tray prior to being fixed. And by fixed its painted gel coat now... At least it looks better. Hahahaha

Sorry to hear about your hull issues. My 2014 hurricane definatly isn't perfect and has quite a few bodywork flaws but I am enjoying it on the water.
I have been unsatisfied with the customer service though. Been trying to contact them for a month through phone calls, voicemail, text, and emails without any luck.

 

[Rennat]

@dose do you have any pictures of your issues? What's wrong with the hull exactly?

.

If the owner told me that, I would give it right back to him in trade for my hard earned cash! I hope it works out for you!

How much did this mess set you back

 

[Rennat]

Well this was the "owner" of hurricane himself response.
If this doesn't convey to every single one of you the attitude and the character of their products. Then I don't know what will.

 

[Rennat]

How much did this mess set you back

I took like 4 hours off of work to bring the hull back. And about 9 hours of driving time with $20 in bridge toll. So maybe 150-200 after I calculate gas.

If the owner told me that, I would give it right back to him in trade for my hard earned cash! I hope it works out for you!

Told me he had no money to give me because he makes so little off of these. And the fact he "gave" me 1k off the price tag meant I got a poorly built ski... I told him take this ski back and build me a new one and he gave me the crazy look. It was then I decided to just say f it and have him make it pretty and never come back.

 

[x2mafia]

I meant how much was the hull and what model hurricane
