[QUOTE="tomme boy, post: 440885, member: 11342"] Welded boats were meant to save labor cost and to speed production. It was supposed to save money for the consumer. But that is not how it is. If welding is so good, then why are aircraft riveted? The aluminum HAS to flex. Welds don't. That's why they all crack. Don't really care who makes it it will eventually crack. Once it is welded, the aluminum is very difficult to repair right because of the heat stress involved in the weld. That is why the welds that are repaired usually crack right next to the weld. Just STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING TRACKER BOATS make and you will have less problems. [/QUOTE]
