[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 398543, member: 432"] I agree. It looks like the weld job compromised the aluminum surrounding the weld. The side braces look as if the weld dug too deep into the hull thinning the metal around the edge of the weld. The floor welds look as is there was not enough bead on the center part of the weld to hold the pieces together since it split the weld right at the seam. It appears that the weld was too thin across the seam. If you have not run into anything real hard with your boat it should not be doing this. If you have hit something hard the shock can cause this type of damage but if the welds were structurally sound I would tend to believe the boat would bend before the welds broke. Again, I would contact Weldbilt to get their take on it. [/QUOTE]
