Here's a real shocker for you Chuckie - the dealers do sell them, and they
either do or should know how they're built.

Karlie- Are the dealers *responsible* for the construction of the product? Do
they design and construct the boats? Of course not. There's a difference
between knowing how a boat is built and being responsible for building it that
way.

So what have 100's of dealers done over the years when the quality of the
product they are buying from the builder drops below the standard they would
like to offer to their customers? Usually, they will voice their opinion and
try to lobby for upgrades.
If that doesn't happen, dealers will often change franchises rather than sell a
produt that doesn't meet their company or personal standards.

There's a reason I have an older Hatteras - it doesn't have that kind of
crap in the hull bottom. It is nice, thick, SOLID fiberglass.

Keep that Hatt in good repair, because if you ever have to buy a new one it
will be built by Brunswick. :-)
