My Alumacraft has been a great boat so far for the two years that I have owned it.
Alumacraft boat problems. We think in solutions and work together as a good friend. You can buy the best boat in the world but if your dealer does a poor set-up or has poor service after the sale it doesnt matter what you bought. Alumacraft wont warranty it because they claim it was a rigging issue.
They say going the wood core had gotten wet and was pin holeing the aluminum. 3000 in labor to fix and they are covering the cost. Glassdoor has 8 Alumacraft Boat reviews submitted anonymously by Alumacraft Boat employees.
Its a big headache. The hinges on the covers started to give out the carpet was not the best and started to unravel the insulation on the backs of the covers started to fall apart the screws in the floor keep backing themselves out or stripped. The only problems that I have had were created by a poor dealer.
It is a Alumacraft phantom V170 with a Evinrude 120 V4 outboard motor. In October my boat will be sent to Alumacraft for their inspection and determine how to fix it permanently. You arent gonna save much weight by getting a smaller engine.
Alumacraft and the dealer both said they have never seen or heard of this problem. This is me and my dads boat. 315 West Saint Julien St.
Combine all of this with Alumacraft workmanship and fishability and its easy to understand why inshore anglers will love the 2072 Bay. Explore to find the boat that best fits your needs. A 14p prop will give you approx 5600 rpm.
