Think I'm out of the woods?

My SeaCraft is going to be a year old in a couple of weeks. According to the searial number, the hull was actually made in 2003, but the boat was registered as a 2004.
At any rate, since I only have a one year warranty on the gel coat, I just did an end-to-end inspection with a magnifying glass and not a sign of a crack anywhere.
I run the boat pretty hard - it has around 150 hours on it and I take it off shore. So far it has performed like a champ. They may have did this one right??

I've got a 98 and besides 1 year use and over 170 hours by me the previous owner ran it hard too, no cracks, well except for the 1" crack in the console bottom that a dive tank hit, its fixed already. And now that its got an e-tec, the vibration issues are over too

What size is y'alls boats.

I have looked at a bunch of 23'ers and they seem to not have the problems that the 25'er had.

Yep.. Mine is a 23'

Where are you on yours? Haven't seen anything in a while..

I have tried a couple times to "patch" mine up and it won't last. I am now feeling the core material for the trasnom is either too soft or it's not thick enough. The plan now is to try to re-enforce the transom with a plate....just to get me though summer. This winter I want to box in the rear area of the boat and put an Armstrong bracket on it with new power.
