Dinghy troubles


 

Never, never, NEVER buy a dinghy built in China for Big Dog Boats! Am I plain enough now?

While in the Bahamas, more things started to come unglued from the dinghy. The oar lock simple fell off one day (along with the ore)! The ore keepers also pealed off and the skid strip on the bottom has come loose in the front and the rear. But the worst was the large plastic part that joins the transom to the boat. It came unglued from the tube. It wasn’t bad enough that the entire transom came un-glued,,, NO,,, now the tubes are separating from the transom too. It’s a shame since the boat is just the right shape, size, and weight for our needs. I guess when a company builds something to a bottom price you get what you pay for…I did so, Beware!


Some of the parts that hus keep falling off.

The molded part that glues to the tube is comming off.

It's a good thiing that I bought a LARGE size tube of glue!

Parts glued back on.
