I reached that point a couple of years ago.  When I ordered my 2021, I nearly went to another dealer.  Effectively, Tommy's said don't bother calling us for service or warranty work if you buy out of territory.  Looking back, I wish I hadn't used them and sacrificed the drive time to the other dealer.  My 2022 has been there for several weeks now.  I dropped it off the last week of February to get the wireless chargers installed that didn't come with the boat when it was delivered.  I also had them replace the skins that were torn at delivery as well as soft deck that was stained at delivery.  It's not getting gel coat repaired and I'm told it will be ready for pick up next week, which is a week later than I was promised.  Next time I need anything done, I'm going to Gull Lake.  

I stopped taking mine to Tommy's Detroit, the MasterCraft dealer in Fenton, MI (Action WaterSports), those people are awesome to deal with.  Devon the service manager is VERY willing to take in Malibus and treats my 08 Wakesetter like it's his own (he actually owns a Malibu).  Take your boat to Action

Yes, and I will be calling them today as I fear they may soon be declaring bankruptcy. 

Wow I have not been paying attention but just read your last comment and had no idea our Tommy's dealer could be tanking soon??  They sure paid a fortune for that booth they had at the Detroit BoatShow the wife and I went to 

A lot less expensive when something does freeze on a closed cooling engine. 
 

I’m sure you’d know this but just make sure it’s not a missing drain plug just leaking out water. Gets mistaken for a freeze plug more than you think.

Wouldn't an M5 be closed cooling?  So basically it is your exhaust and a heat exchanger to worry about?

I suppose that's true and maybe good news.  No experience with a blown freeze plug but running it up to the dealer today to have them examine it.

If your boat is at a dealership for warranty work and the dealer files for bankruptcy, could there be some delay in getting your boat retrieved from the bankruptcy trustee?  

I remember a Nissan Dealer bankruptcy a number of years ago where people who had purchased but not yet taken possession of the cars got listed as unsecured creditors. (unsecured creditors are low on the list of people to get paid)   Scary stuff.

Yes, and I will be calling them today as I fear they may soon be declaring bankruptcy.
