Was reading where one guy had a steel bolt break that was holding up one of the swinging keels. Why would they not be using stainless for this boat from the factory? His is older model, I wonder if the new models use stainless bolts for the fold up keels.
The guy had some water about 8 gallons come through around that bolt aswell. I thought that pivot bolt is located high enough there would not be that much water reaching up that far, guess it does.
Anyone have this same problem?
I like the idea that these boats can get into shallow water but don't want to have alot of problems either.
