bass cat 4 ever, Stress fractures are a complimentary coverage by BCB. They are not in the written warranty and on a 2000 model year the standard warranty has long expired. The Lifetime Structural Warranty would handle a structural issue, though not a stress fracture. Also if someone inside of BCB handled an image, they should be able to tell you the factor and the issue. Which would lean to why the issue is there. This would let you know what you have and whether or not it is a minor factor. There may be no reason to sell your boat and the issue may not be a factor at all. BCB Admin.
