My first post on here. Just bought a "NEW" 2014 Epic 23v from Texas Auto Liquidators. Long ass list of things wrong with this "new" boat. Had it for 6 days and it still wont start. $60,000.00 worth of disappointment so far...
1. Huge rip in the fabric cover.
2. Gelcoat damage from improper towing with cover on.
3. Engine wont turn over or start at all. Completely inoperable.
4. Missing parts list includes:
- Pin for the wakeboard tower. (Cant use it without that.)
- Owners manual, and more...
5. Stereo wont power on.
6. The bimini top was tossed in the bottom of the boat and it grinded a nasty 8 inch long patch in the gelcoat on the floor for the entire 2000 mile trip.
7. Trailer is completely missing one light and one reflector.
8. Trailer has been in some sort of accident where it was dented on the step just ahead of the fender.
9. Engine is throwing NINE different codes!!! Are you serious??? YES. NINE.
10. Rear swim step has multiple stress fractures looking like a spiderweb. Looks like it was backed into something.
11. Small hole on the driver seat left armrest. This is a very noticeable location for a hole.
12. Various nuts, bolts and washers scattered under seats, on the floor, etc. Sloppy.
13. One of the chrome center caps on the wheel is cracked almost completely in half.
14. Foam seal on the center window is peeled of about 3-4 inches down and mangled up.
To be clear I dont blame Epic Boats for the problems. This dealer didnt do a pre-delivery inspection and sold me a boat that was misrepresented. In the meantime I`m burdened with taking pictures and typing descriptions of all the problems and tracking down a mechanic that can fix their mess.
Any thoughts?
