closer shot. Sorry this image is upside down and for some reason I can save rotation changes.

Am I seeing that right, the areas you have circled are the very bottom of the hull? There's no ribs in the bottom of those trackers?

Tracker calls it a longitudinal stringer system. The cracks are on he bottom side of those 4 stringers where they are welded to the hull at the most forward position. There are ribs forward of that in the bow section. That is still how they build them. I am going to try calling tracker but not expecting much to come from that. See the link for more info and a video. http://www.trackerboats.com/quality/

Is there a way to tie that livewell/bulkhead into the hull sides? Poke-around those other welds...i wonder if something failed somewhere else and it's falling apart like a house of cards.

this is kind of funny:
[h=2]BUILT TO LAST (11 years)[/h] [h=3]NO RIVETS. ALL WELDED.[/h] [h=4]BACKED BY OUR LIMITED LIFETIME STRUCTURAL WARRANTY[/h]
