Hi,

  are there any problems with leaking deck to hull joints and stringers, that can lead to waterintrusion with this model, including railings. Anything else I should look out for?  How good is the support of the manufacturer?

Thanks

John

we have a 2004 280/prestancia and have had trouble with leaks in the cabin.  SOurces have been found and corrected include:  deck/hull joint, mis-drilled snaps (holding down bow cushion), and water in the railing (source - bad seal at the Nav light).

We now seem to have it reduced to a very slight leak port side bow, just behind the anchor locker, forward of the first port side porthole.  If any forum members have ideas, im all ears. thanks.

Very frustrating.

Doral has been pretty good about it, but it still leaks!
