What I find interesting (and it’s all about welds) is how the coastguard make Tracker lower it’s transom weights, and carry weights on their big jon boats after they increased the hull thickness.
This happened about 4-5 years ago when I was buying my Lund... as it turns out the Tracker thick hulls were busting the welds because the new thick aluminum was too strong and wasn’t flexing so it was popping the old welding tech... I’m not sure if they fixed it or not.
