I have been trying for about 4 months to get some minor repairs done on my '07 210SS. Unfortunatly FW has not returned my e-mails, etc, nor anything from the dealer that has done warranty work for me on FW's behalf. Have they gone out of business or something? If anyone has recent contact information that could help, I would be very appreciative. Spring is just around the corner, and I want to be ready for it!

Walt was the dealer you were working with local? If so I'd talk to another local dealer to see if they have heard anything about this dealer going out of business. Village Marina and Yacht Club is still operating maybe they could help you whit contacting Four Winns. Hope you get a positive outcome.

How minor is the warranty work? Is the local dealer brushing you off because it's small business and they are busy right now?

Is it boat show season?

Or - if they went out of business, that's shit outta luck.

What's wrong with your boat?

Villiage (place I purchased from) has been working with Sportsmans (local) for all my warranty work previously. They've done a great job and hadn't hads any trouble dealing with Villiage Marina, FW or Mercury. In November and since FW did not reply to Sportsmans regarding these latest issues. I pinged Villiage about a month ago and still have not got a reply direct from them.



No, they've actually been keeping in touch with me, keeping me up to date on who they've tried to contact, etc. on about a every 2 week basis. I'm confident they are working in my best interest.



I have been unable to get a number for FW. Even a generic 1-800 number would be something. I've tried thier website, and gone through the normal contact stuff there, but no fruit yet.



Thanks. Hope it doesn't come down to it. The GF, and a few other friends are both enthusiastic about my boat, and lawyers, so it could be in thier best interest.... you know.


Thank for all replys. Mostly I'm trying to find a worthy point of contact within FW.....I'll try pinging Villiage Marina again this week, and see if I can't get them to run with it. After all, they have my $42K

Mike Stefani is the national warranty guy at FW, or at least still was as of last fall.

And he's been very good at getting issues resolved. He's taken care of a number of things for me in the past.

Thanks all. I did finally get ahold of Alan and Bill at FW. They talked to the dealer I've been working with, and dropped the boat off yesterday to get started. After posting the topic, I found the neccesary contact info in my FW manual. Hey, go figure

I'll let you know how the fiberglass work comes out when I get that done as well.

I have some spidering cracks in the gelcoat coming from the mounting screws for the Tower. Additionally, there are more signifigant cracks and pits in my ski locker that need fixed.
