Ok, my UL-1 arrived today. Everything looks good. I only have a few questions, maybe you can answer them for me.
1. If I turn the hull upside down and look where the upper and lower hull joins, along the sides, there are cracks where the two seems meet. Seems like the factory used some sorta caucking or epoxy to make the seems blend. Looks like the caulking or epoxy shrunk, there are little cracks up and down this seam? It is only along the left and right sides twards the rear, just before it goes the front sponsons.
Any idea if this is normal, or a defect?
2. I tried wiggeling the turn fin on the sponson, I'm giving it a good toug and the turn fin seems pretty solid. Would you suspect this is an updated hull?
3. On the motor cooling jacket fittings, there are red washers. Is this new?
Thanks
