2016 AR240 quality concerns

[JTC1016]

Anybody have this same condition in the bilge? My pump turned on on the water yesterday. Second trip it's done this in a row and previously it was dry, so I looked inside the hatch between the clean out plugs and noticed some bad looking fiberglass on the inside of the keel. The outside is perfect so it had to have been like this and I just never noticed. It's down in the bottom by the plug. Looks like it got bored by something.
There are also a couple of nuts missing from ride plate bolts that might be concerning. They should be there right?
I'm just starting to wonder about the shitty quality control issues I can't see.

We'll see if this works. Might have to zoom a bit to see.

Bad fiberglass and missing nuts.

Hmm, looks like they had the drill angled when they drilled the plug hole.

Yea that's what it looks like to me. A lot of the holes in the top deck are cut by robot at the plant but I'm not sure about the hull. You could grind down those rough edges of the glass and apply some new fiberglass mat and resin or take it to the dealer and hope they do a good job.

I would be more concerned with your ride plate missing mounting hardware. For sure get that fixed.

Well, we went back out Saturday afternoon and didn't get much water at all after about 6 hours on the water. Bilge pump never ran and maybe 5 seconds light water drainage when I pulled the plug. I have not idea why it came on Friday night. I agree that it looks like it's from the plug hole being drilled. Doesn't seem to be an issue for now.
I'm curious what everyone else sees with the bolts on their boats. I've looked through some past posts with photos of that area relating to tow valves and transducer placement and most of them have some bolts with no nuts.
