Default RE: TS2 POST IT HERE...

I have a probelm with my boat. I have had it out twice now and I have it running fairly well. It has a stock OS21. The problem is, the last time it was out, some water got into the hull. I took out the rubber plug and a few onces of water came out. The next day, I noticed the transom was split horizontally across the bottom bolt holes. It looks like the wood in the transom absorbed water and swelled, causing the fiberglass to split open about 1/8 inch. Is this normal? Why would they not waterproof the wood inside the hull? Inspection showed more cracks in the back the hull off to the side of the transom, and another crack where the front of the sponson meets the main hull. I just used CA to seal everything back up. Has anyone else had this happen, or did I get a bad one? I have had it for about a year before I set it up to run, so I guess any warranty is out of the question.
