Grabbed these highlighted photo's from a plate boat forum on facebook….
I certainly wouldn't be looking at Telwater as the benchmark on building quality plate boats Gaz....seems to be some issues with welds letting go in various areas inside the hull,floor and nose....blistering paintwork and other issues....
I got quotes and looked at Yellowfins quite closely when researching boats.....I believe my Chinese boat will be better riding and probably better quality then anything coming out of that factory....
I have also heard plenty of stories of dealing with Telwater to fix problems.....some good results but lots of unsatisfied customers too..
and maybe its because they build 8000 or so boats a year so its obviously a factory assembly line process ..but just looking at those stills off there supplied marketing blurb it all looks a bit rough doesn't it...?...
but I also get your point ..I wish my boats had a few more transverse ribs in her...we will see how she goes over time I guess..
