Yup, When I worhed at Northside we had a brand new 28' Sailfish pretend it was a crab, The bonding system was not up to parr and it was in the water for 2 days, Didn't even get to sea trial it. I personaly try to stay away from the stuff at Boaters world and Worst Marine, Thru hull's I try to go with us made stuff like Sen Dure Ect. Lewis marine is the best for this stuff and in there 2008 catalogue they list the country of origin.
