I read a lot of posts on this issue, but I never see one item come out of it that seems to me to be obvious.

Do S & G kayak builders have joints fail on finished boats? We can argue all day about strength and joints and the like, but if the don't fail in the field why the fuss? If they do fail in the field, then we might have an issue.

What do some of you users have to say about this?
