    Isn't this the boat with all the broken bulkheads problems?

    Bulkheads bulkheads bulkheads.
    Check out the parlay revival guys.

      We have spoken to Colin from Parlay. This problem it’s not exclusive from Lagoon, others brands are experiencing the same but they dealt better with social media than Lagoon so not many people are aware of it.
      Whatever boat we buy they will have to be checked and reinforced. Cheers

    Id walk away from Lagoons , Not many selling in this area & what are are being discounted big time mind none have had the BH issue looked at by the owners ?

      I can’t see them being on a lower price due to the bulkheads issue. May I ask where are you located?
      We are aware of those problems but that doesn’t really put us away from the brand. As long as they are checked and reinforced I don’t see a problem. Others major brands have the same problem but they have addressed the issue differently. Cheers Bill

      @@SailingOceanFox NZ & Australia , Maybe its because there was a very large coverage of the incident with 'Parley Revival' , My friend a long time broker has said people are still lo' 30-40 % less then the asking price unless they have a full independent survey on the repairs/Fix ?

      @@popeyeseamaster87 well I will tell something that we have heard about from a genuine source. Al the major brands are experiencing problems like Lagoon but they have dealt with social media far better than Lagoon, fixing them up straight away and giving a great customer service.
      Well, as we all know Lagoon didn’t dealt well at all with social media and didn’t gave enough or any support in some countries. Apparently they did better in Australia but not on this side of this world I am afraid! So that’s why we all know about Lagoon bulkheads and nothing about the problems on other brands. Anyway, it’s all fixable but costly!

    Sorry, don’t agree. These vessels have built in structural faults caused by poor design and should be much cheaper because of that.

      Doesn’t look like the prices are coming down because of the faulty design
