dunc333 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 correct bait drifta same factory. they are slightly different below the water line (hull shape) .but mainly the same above the waterline .i just wonder why they would not spend a few more hours laubour when drilling and putting screws bolts in etc in fit out stage so paint bubble and corrosion dosn't happen ,must come down to cost i guess cheers dunc333 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it would be in their best interest to fix their processes. It might cost a bit but so does returning a boat from Sydney to their Queensland factory and back, and to have the repairs repaired a few months later locally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 On 1/4/2023 at 5:32 PM, noelm said: One of the issues in mass produced boats, is the use of different grades of aluminium, the hull is made from a certain grade, factory made fittings can be made out of cheaper grade, bow rails different again, add to that quick/poor prep before painting, and paint bubbles are just a matter of time! Doesn't matter how much you wash the boat or anything else, it's just a fact of life, that insidious corrosion never sleeps..... And people don’t realise paint is actually porous.Miniscule pores but porous non the less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant fish Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I don't no why people are surprised that quality isn't as good as it once was we all want everything cheap and want to pay Chinese prices but we still expect Aussie built things to be the same price as some of that crap . I've just bought a new Ute and didn't consider a chinese one. People need to be realistic if you want something in new condition buy new 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with whatever way you go. Didn’t end up getting up Fab1. I’m open To other similar boat to the one I wanted, so see what comes up in next few months.
