    Kudos to Sunseeker Factory Repair Team

    We had been having problems with the slide on our 2017 2430S for a couple of years with it being in for repairs at two different dealer service shops during that time. In June, both service shops told us they couldn’t fix it and suggested a factory repair. They led us believe we needed a new...
