Kevlacat boats

I just took some photos of a newer green Kevlacat dive boat here in
the Bahamas with a break in the hull, apparently just from stress and
poor construction. The owner says that they were just motoring along
and that the boat filled up and sank. I saw no indication that it hit
anything. Supposedly someone else is having the same problems with
another one on Green Turtle Cay, just north of here. If you are buying
a boat....
The starboard side of the right hull apparently just caved in, a crack
about two feet long which would have allowed lots of water to enter
that hull, depending upon speed and water conditions. The hull
appeared to be thin, but I'm no surveyor. That hull was definitely
warped, though, and you didn't have to be a surveyor to see that. Come
down and see it yourself at the main boatyard in Marsh Harbour,
Abacos. I'm betting whoever has title to it now would sell it cheap.
This is supposedly the green one featured on their website.
