It's hard to see, but there are two inches of standing water at the bottom of the hole. Below is a picture of the hole where the foam was removed. The gap between the front of the ski locker and the hull is approximately 4 inches by 1 inch, more than enough room for water to make it's way under the ski locker. The space is supposed to be filled with foam and presumably meant to be bone dry. This, to me, is an obvious miss at the factory. One issue that they identified was that the front of the ski locker floor is not sealed to the hull at the bow, which allows water to enter the space under the ski locker. Once that is done, they will refill the missing foam, reglass the hole and re-gelcoat the entire ski locker. They have cut the hole in the bottom of the ski locker, pulled out the foam in the immediate area, and it is sitting in the shop drying out.
I stopped in today and they took 20 minutes to walk me through what they have done so far. They then took 30 minutes to talk through what they would do and made sure that I understood and asked any questions. I reluctantly took my boat in, met the owner, and was put at ease that they would take care with my boat and walk me through their process and keep me informed of progress, and invited me to stop in anytime to monitor progress. The dealer uses a custom paint / body / marine shop for any glass work. I brought my boat into the dealer for them to take a look at, and they worked with Skier's Choice to get this covered under warranty, even though I'm the second owner (issue was identified within a week of owning it though). There was another member that also had this issue on his 05 I believe. I've posted on here about this issue with my boat.
