If anyone doubts me, you are welcome to see for yourself. I don't believe that the concerns are structural at all, but they are more than sloppy. The people at Willies are great and I am still glad that I bought the boat. However, I should have rejected it ( I didn't only because it was the peak of the summer run season, I didn't look at it that closely when I picked it up and I had already sold my other Willies) and I am not willing to drive ten hours each way to address my concerns. Suffice it to say I am just disappointed.
My post was just of caution to inspect the boat closely before you drive away because the problem is current and real. They are still the only manufacturer I would consider- they row the best! I don't think that my problem will affect how the boat rows at all.
Good luck!
