More likely a combination of poor design, monkeys with spool guns, and an abundance of foam and camp paint to hide it....
Longitudinal cracks down the hull usually indicate that the framing members have broken from the hull so it’s flexing a lot and fatiguing. Those little production boats usually have no longitudinal stiffeners or keel other than the small angles broke in the hull, which aren’t very stiff. If that...
