Since it is in California, go ahead and shoot the images to BCB at Services e-mail. That would be your best way to get an opinion. There is not much easy on travel in California. It is a drive to go to to Quick Trip for most there. The guys in Service will look them over and get back to you. BCB

Best thing to do is take some pictures up close and send to BassCat on Monday with description and location of stress cracks.[url=mailto:[email protected]][email protected][/url] and they can forward from there.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

Send your photos to our Service Department and they will check it out and see what you have. Be sure to include that serial number and your purchasing dealership. You also can speak to your purchasing dealership about it and they may be able to assist you. [email protected] AdminLast edited by bassCat1971 on July 31st, 2010, 6:53 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Contact your servicing dealership. That is always your first step.

cyiworkmore, If those cracks are running in line with the rub rail and not are radiused almost as if they were about 5 to 10″ long, then something bumped it there. That is the most common on these areas and around the rear corners. There is nothing structural there. It could have been backed into a post, a tree, or something backed into it there. If it is impact, they will mound up as if round the horizon and the ends will run into, under or towards the rub rail. Though get your images and get in touch with your dealership. They will be the first step. BCB

I would call BassCat and ask them. In my opinion not likely, however stress cracks are a bit of a rarity on Bass Cats that I have seen.Irv

Impossible to offer any good advice/opinion by internet post. Did the owner hit anything in the past? What year is the boat? Need several pictures, and any known history … sent to:Service@BassCatThen they might be able to give you suggestions and opinions?BCB Admin

I would use caution. Could be normal cracks but I would take some pictures of inside the rear compartment where the transom ties in and the upper corners where it ties in just to be safe. From my experience it aint easy to put stress cracks on a BassCat. With pics of the inside corners it should be easy to see if there was a previous repair inside or if there is damage there.
