cheers Chris yer I have heard boats this size do get cracking and if they are getting slapped around then that's what will happen all the welds look good as far as I could see but with out ripping up the floor I don't really know that's why I put it out there and see if anyone had one thanks for your feedback champ

Shouldn't have a problem with a new or newish boat with weld cracks as they are all destressed these days in an oven (the mass produced ones are anyway). Looks like a reasonable unit.
Love the West!
