and if you read all the posts, somewhere in there it states the rigger (what's that guys name agian) cut holes to run wires???? in a boat thats built to the extreme edge of weight to strenght ratio, you gotta wonder sometimes when these riggers cut threw bulkheads just to have a straight run for their wire looms?
You do not know Jeff or myself.

The problem with the JBS boat was not a structural failure by
any means. The outer layer of carbon that came off is a vail
layer to lessen print through and act as a barrier to the inner
structural layers of carbon. The laminate was left open to long in
this area of the boat and started to cure before the vacuum bag
went down so it didn't adhere well enough to the inner skins and
after running loosened up and sheeted off.
As Joe said Mystic Powerboats is standing behind this problem
100% and the repair is nearly complete. The boat will be up and
running again very soon for a long winter of testing and many
years of very competitive racing. My crew and myself take great
pride in what we build and work very hard at it, we are very
sorry for the inconvenience of this but I can personally assure
you that Jeff and Joe were NEVER in any danger because of the
delamination.
Seeing four of our boats running at Key West was very exciting
and rewarding we are looking forward to a great season next
year for all of our boats.
Best regards,

It's an unfortunate situation that any tangible product manufacturer dreads. a measure of their character is the willingness to participate in the remedy and do what's right. That, of course, assumes there is a manufacturing defect. then there is JNJ. When Tylenol was tainted with cyanide, they replaced all, even though they knew it wasnt their fault. Eventually the perp was caught, but JNJ knew they had to protect their brand image.
Kudos to Mystic for being part of the solution.

well that explains it. Stinson's involved :sifone::26:
Anything can be damaged or destroyed. If this was an Indy car that someone drove into a wall, would there be ongoing questions about it's manufacture? It broke. It will be fixed or replaced (or maybe both) and things will be learned in the process.
Interestingly, the involved parties are all very positive on the topic.

Agreed..its how the situation gets handled all all sides. Being positive and intent on figuring out the situation at hand and resolving the problem so it doesnt occur again is something of a lesson in itself. Great positive thread, and I wish more manufactures would get involved to educate us more. Cudo's Mystic.

John Cosker's reply couldn't have been better or more responsible.
Represented the best interests of his company, his product, his employees, his current clients and future purchasers all in one letter.
The home phone number was like his gorgeous boats...above and beyond.

If you want to get down to it check out the Nicolini Boat that Steve Curtis crashed the whole back side is gone!!!!
The fact of the matter is that anything pushed to the edge will have a point at which it fails if a small imperfection starts unoticed that imperfection will grow to a large one ESPECIALLY when it is pushed to that edge!!!! I don't care what manufacturer it is they ALL have imperfections....Enough Said!!!!!!!
