I was under the impression some Willards had the same issues for the same reasons???

My Pilot is an 04. Are you saying they were vinylester and then went back to polyester when they moved?
John, I am saying that there is a good chance of that. *I ordered my '04 Pilot for December of '03 delivery at the factory in St. Augustine (Midway GA plant had no way of on the water delivery).* I asked for the boat to be taken across the San Sebastion River*to St. Augustine Marine for bottom painting after an epoxy barrier coat was applied.* I was told that the expoxy barrier coat on that boat would be a total waste of money.* They then told me the story of why they were using vinyl ester resins and the big extra expense involved.

So, yes, I think your scenario is what happened.* If that boat is all vinyl ester resins, I Think that you have extra value there, or you at least have an extra selling point.* You might ask Luhrs to check the file on your boat to see if this is the case.
