[QUOTE="lowe1462, post: 86880, member: 1493"] Good News: I went to the dealer Monday afternoon and they were absolutely shocked to see that kind of corrosion on a boat only one year old with no electronics. They did quickly agree to replace the boat, which is excellent news. Tuesday morning the dealer called lowe to see what was happening and Lowe didn't have a great answer. Lowe suspected as did the dealer that it was the improperly treated wood in the transom. The biggest problem now is that lowe no longer makes the 1462. And they have lowered the hp ratings and raised the transoms on the 1467 and 1667. So that means that my 25hp short shaft motor would no longer fit any of the larger boats. And even if it did, it would be over the plated hp rating. Now I have to decide if the dealer can give me another boat that I like, or if a refund would be better. They aren't interested in a trade-in for the trailer and motor, so its kind of a weird predicament. Thanks to all that replied. [/QUOTE]
