Re: stress cracks I do not have any,but I know a few people have found some in thier boats.
My uncle just got through cleaning his 16x48 Alumafab hull(Rockwell) and could not find any cracks at all.That hull has had a 24 and 35 longtail on it and a 35 GTR.Ten years of abuse and still rolling strong.

Re: stress cracks I have seen some nasty ones on fat chicks handing out in the parking lot at the local Casey's!  Big enough to swallow the little kids that are always hanging behind.

Re: stress cracks A guy i work with had a southfork that he bought from gatortail. The boat had a semi-V, and it cracked in the middle of the V. He had it rewelded numerous times and finally the factory took it back from him. Im not sure if they gave him a new one or not.
