Just received a new basshunter pro 120

...just wondering if any other owners have this finish in their cup holders and is it normal...I realize it doesn’t affect the functionality of the boat but it bothers me ....

Thats horrible for something new

That would be getting returned asap

The reply from the maker was :

 

 

Splatter from spin casting hole for cent tube plug

this happens on all boats ...

☝️This is all that matters.

I wouldn't accept that for something new

Ugh... it shipped from Mississippi to Michigan .... I’m asking for a discount or something ... we shall see... what ticks me off is the nonchalant attitude from the rep 

I get it that it's not perfect but I've come to realize we are way passed the days of being able to buy anything quality.  Brand new aluminum boats with cracked welds. Blistering on hulls of 70k glass boats.  In the bigger scheme of things I'd fish it and let it be. Is it right...probably not...is it something to lose sleep over...for me it wouldn't be.  Good luck

To say that happens on all boats is unacceptable. That should be sold to you at a blemished price or exchanged for a new boat

I’ve asked in 3 emails for a discount of some sorts or a free paddle ...anything lol.. No reply ... it’s still a good boat , it fishes well....found some cup holder inserts to use ....I’m not a plastic injection molding expert but I’ve never seen that on any other plastic boat or kayak I’m in my life so the lack of concern is what bugs me most... oh well... fish on!

True statement .... Concern over quality seems to be lost in modern times ...My travel trailer is full of aesthetic defects brand new ....it’s all price points and speed today ...I won’t lose sleep over it.... just disappointed a bit  

Sounds like you own the problem. I would contact the company management via a written letter including all your correspondence and contact statements, photo, sales rep name and demand a repair, don't settle for anything less.
