I bought the clam scout, had several bolts pop off, wrote clam a letter and their reply was nothing more then ,"sorry bout your luck" we had a batch of bad screws but the problem is now solved". Yea right, I still got a 3rd rate shanty and had to get new hardware to put it together. I sent them the pictures and they had no offer in return. I guess next time I'll try a shappell or a frabill.
