Neither did my one Lund ever leak - but I have a neighbour right now who’s stuck with a very low hour welded Legend with a 10” crack and (according to him) no warranty.
Who knows? Maybe they’ll start welding airplanes together next!

They rivet planes together because it's much cheaper than welding, not because it's better.
I hear people say all the time that "they rivet things so they can flex and move". I've got news for them; if a rivet is allowing movement it is failing. Simple as that.
If you wish you can PM me your neighbors info along with the boat info and I'll make some phone calls. I've gotten to know a couple of the Legend reps from out east that would be all over that.
