Hope to buy a new or used Pulsare 2400 BRX

Ryan, They have had a de-lamination issue with a 24 they built during their first launch. Plus they tried to screw an owner on a sea-cat that nearly sunk due to poor manufacturing quality. Because they didn't carry the proper warranty insurance, which is where all the legal issues with caldwell stemmed from, so they had to fold for a while. And now they are changing a proven layup without any testing and using their customers as a guinea pigs, while charging big $$$. I sure hope they have the proper warranty insurance this time around.
Respectfully, none of there 24’ boats have delaminated. They only built 7 the first go around. The legal issues were because there the partner didn’t want to dump money into blueprinting the molds and the boats couldn’t go over 68 without chine walking like pigs. There for Pete was flipping each boat and working them by hand spending about an extra week of labor on them out of his own pocket.
Caldwell only built:
1 pulsare closed 200 pro xs (Randy Corsin)
1 20 brx 250 pro xs (Tinus)
1 24 brx 400r (tinus)
1 24 cd 300r (mauricio in Mexico)
1 24 brx 250 sho (Albany ny)
1 24 brx 400 r (Sala Long Island NY)
1 24 brx 450r (eastern Pa)

None of which had any performance issues. And are all over built like tanks.

So what did they change on the mold or hull design to cause this chine walking issue? Did they notch the transom on the 24? Because my 2014 24 has no issues like you describe, even at 80 mph. And my hull was not blueprinted, and out of the box had no performance issues.
