So here is a brand new Spartan. First day at the lake this weekend testing her out.
And low and behold something goes terribly wrong!
YouTube
From the damage and the video it looks like the hull folded in half just in front of the inner support/2nd layer of hull. there are cracks on the floor of the hull that makes me wonder if they busted and water came in and the force of it folded the boat in half. Also the top and bottom halves of the boat dont seem to be joined all that well so that could of contributed to the folding in half. All I can figure is the hull was extra thin up front and just gave in. Because I ran my boat that same day with no problems. Also my boat has been in a few crashes and nothing like this has ever happened.
Before its asked no the boat didnt hit anything in the water. there are no marks on the bottom of the hull or anywhere that suggest it was a strike. Ive watched the video at 1 frame per second and its not the best shot but it looks like the boat just exploded to a dead stop. So unreal!
Any thoughts on this are welcome.
