I have a question here and anyone who understands the boat manufacturing process would help.
We have a boat that is being built, it just came out of the mold last week. Went to go check on it yesterday and discovered that they cut the open bow area to large, the boat is a mid cuddy and we specified that we wanted a larger mid cuddy, smaller open bow.
Obviously, the cuts were wrong so now they are extending the cuddy.
They removed the bulkhead, and are adding a 9" piece of fiberglass (what was cut from the bow area) to the top of the deck. They are glassing that in and will not show a seam (I hope).
They had just put the deck (flooring) in and will now have to cut it back 12" to accomdate the larger cuddy. My biggest concern is the top 9" piece, will it be strong and never show any stress cracks in a few years, not to mention the overall structural integrity. My question here is, would you let them do this or just build you a new boat? any input would be great.
