[QUOTE="South Sound, post: 446279, member: 4299"] I do love my Lund, just not the short cuts Lund did while making it. Unsealed transom, unsealed wood transom and floor with steel screws lead to a rotten transom, corrosion in transom, rusted out screws and corrosion on stringers under deck, 4 spots of rot on deck. Oh and I garage my boat and am crazy about caring for it. Since I'm the second owner, Lund said too bad we can't help you. I hadn't planned on having to replace the transom and deck in my 10 year old boat, however Lund did not seal either the transom or deck plywood. Both are now out. Transom was a bear to get out. I ended up drilling all the way through. Put a ratchet strap through. Attached to the cross beam in garage. Ratchet it up a foot. Got in the boat and jumped to pop it out. The aluminum on the inside came out with the transom. It was not connected. Because of the plywood collecting saltwater, drying, and getting wet again there were HUGE salt crystals and corrosion with one pin hole that was letting in more water. I got alumnaprep 33 and alodine. I am planning on doing both alumnaprep and alodine on the inside and outside then gluvit. Then paint on outside. I have spray in foam that I need to check if it is holding water. It was in the back near the transom. I am going to use coosa board for transom. I am torn between 5052 /5068 aluminum diamond plate OR coosa board for the deck. [/QUOTE]
