Yap.  I learned about this years ago when I have a Chevy Camaro.  The paint washed off it multiple times when it got wet.  Chevy finally let me return it after a long battle but the dealer refused to do anything despite what Chevy was telling them.

 

My father in law is going through this know with a Dodge truck that is rusting.  Chrysler refuses to do anything despite there warranty.  Basically, the bed is rusting faster than his 84 Dodge Ram.  His truck is about 6 years old now and in a few years there will nothing left of it.

I had the same problem with dodge. That was about the time they went broke.

 

I bought a used car with a left over warranty. It would have been good in till 2011, or 50k. What ever came first. In the fall of 07 Well within the first few months I burnt a cat, some how bent a shift linkage, and a few other small things. They replaced every thing no questions asked.

 

So a year later I am working for the same dealer ship. My temp sensor and cam sensor went out. When the temp sensor went out. I talked to the guy that deals with repairs. They turned me down. For what ever reason. So at lunch I replaced it my self. That ticked off a lot of people. After how they treated me. I never dealt with warranty repairs from them again. Once the cam sensor went out. I just took it to my local guy.

You can always go to a different dealer, not saying it's a cure all but it helps a lot.

Hence the reason why you see some member's here repeating the same advice that the brand name of your boat doesn't mean nearly as much as the dealership you buy it from.
