      guys i can share with you all the first hand knowledge of how well these boats are built.

      firstly i have done and still in the procces of making a mold off my own boat that bustedt up with the first and last blowover i had.

      the layup of the glass work is crap it is done useing various different mattings from satin to chopped strand all peeled layers so it is not quality in any sence of the word.

      secondly the glass is only stippled in not rollered as you would expect full of air in the layup, we are realy talking chinese work here so i would doubt that a craft would know whats going on since they come pre painted and truthfuly the paint holds them together.

      3 rd when the 2 halves are joined they are done with large blobs of resin talc mix so the blobs are the cause of the deformation in the air traps of them.

      im not crapping on aq at all just enligten you all as to what you dealing with as per boat , and if your rubbing it back to repaint it go easy on it as you may rub completly through . these boats are sold here in aus @ over $800 ea so that is my reason for doing a mold to build a good hull of my own expectations.
