[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 291984, member: 10344"] Thanks BB, I really like the hull it’s made pretty well and it’s going to be a good boat for me. I think Lowe boats make a pretty good product but there are a few things they could have done better. If I was to grade them “Like they really care” :lol: Overall the grade is B. I can’t for the life of me understand why they wouldn’t have sealed up the transom core/wood. :shock: It’s just a little over 10 year’s old. The rot started at the top of the core and that cap has never been off before so, I know it’s not like it’s been apart before or it came from the motor mount holes. I know Thompson’s water seal and alike doesn’t play well with aluminum but why not fiberglass resin or some kind of epoxy? O and would it have been that far out of range of cost efficiency to put some paint or something on the bare aluminum. [-X Just venting. Ok I feel better now. [/QUOTE]
