I just discovered many stress cracks on the transom of my 1999 18' Dauntless. It was originally from New Jersey but has been on Lake Erie for several years. It has an Opti 135 on it. The facility where it is stored for the winter thinks the cracks were the result of the boat being overpowered. I just bought it last spring , did not have it surveyed & missed the cracks because they were under the bottom paint. Anybody have a similar problem?
