A buddy of mine has a 2002 19' Xpress for about 2 years. Within 6 months of owning it he noticed the welds on the seat bottom had all broken. He repaired them himself, but now he has a cracked weld in the hull which is allowing quite a bit of water in over a few hour trip. They have a lifetime hull warranty but the company is in Arkansas and he's in NJ. I've read about other Xpress owners with weld problems, anyone here with similar problems?

my Express is a 1999 1872 MV, no problems with welds on hull. only welds that ever broke were on the hinge to the bait tank/seat. I just drilled and screwed them with stainless screws..no more problems
