Some of y'all seem to be forgetting that a major contributing factor is the paint under the snaps.
The natural aluminum does a better job resisting.

That is very unlikely. The paint blisters are a symptom not a cause.
Corrosion forms a white powder at the junction of the dissimilar
metals (Aluminum and SS), and that causes the paint to lift.

Yesterday I was on the Legend website where they have a chat function.

I asked the rep about the snaps and she confirmed that they were indeed stainless steel.

She then asked if I had any other concerns.

I felt chatty so I informed her about the corrosion problem... not really expecting to much back.

She went right to the warranty manager and quoted him as saying salt water corrosion was an unpredictable process and not really a warranty problem. He also stated they didn't recommend their boats be used in salt water.

First I heard of this and no where have I seen this in writing nor did the dealer mention it.

They did say to forward pictures of the blisters and they would consult with the dealer on what to do.

Looks like I may be looking for a good Jewish lawyer.

nice for them to tell that to you now, Don. When they sold you the boat, did they ask you 'where' you'd be boating. If the did and you told them, they should have made other hull structure recomendations

Yes Tim, I did tell them my favorite boating destinations...which are all salt water.
Unless you have cottage on a lake and plan to just leave the boat there, you'd really be limiting yourself in this area.
All the interesting areas to cruise are on the ocean.

Does your boat builder have a dealership at an ocean location?

Duh, Jimmy.
I bought mine at the only dealer in the entire Atlantic Canada region and it's within walking distance of the Northumberland Strait, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean.
I noticed from the Legend site that there are two Quebec dealers near the mouth of the St Lawrence River where the water is salty.
Looks like there is at least one dealer on the West Coast too.

If you need yet another reason to put FlaJim in your bozo bin, you have
it. The only reason he posts here is to see if he can aggravate those
who don't share his asshole political opinions. Why toss him a bone he
can chew on by acknowledging his posts? Like several of the righties who
pollute this newsgroup, he is boatless and whatever boating knowledge he
might have had ended when those 1970 and 1980 outdrives gave up the ghost.
