I get Boattest e-mails, and though I found this interesting, I can't
quite figure out the intent. Seems a bit unfair to Chaparral, but at
the same time I appreciate this type of article for the "what can go
wrong" aspect.

Unfair to Chaparral? Why?

Not sure, it's just a "feeling." Seems they were upfront and did okay
by the buyer. And I think this type of defect happens to other boats,
but doesn't get publicized, hence my question here.
I don't know anything about Chaparral quality.

Which marine/naval architect engineered sticking a couple of bolt holes
in the side of a boat's hull to attach a manufacturers name plate.
