Last week I went back to Bass Pro with my brother to pick up some fishing supplies and lo and behold they had the FS12 model in stock! I checked the hull of the boat and it was flat so now I knew the large indention in mine was a defect. They graciously let me exchange mine for it. The following day my wife and I went to pick it up and the hull had a twist in it! The sales staff were very understanding and gave me a full refund. I can't say enough about how great Bass Pro is about backing up their products. They called me a couple of days later and told me I could order one on their web site and have it shipped to the store. It should be in next week. Can't wait for my next maiden voyage and shakedown cruise!
