according to my friends at Avery the paint problems have been fixed, I had saw no problems with the ones I hunted over last year...it might be worth a shot for one season.....
I'm glad they got it straight. They make a fine looking block at a very reasonable price. And, so as to not be a total hater here.... I do have 8 of their oversized goose floaters that are on their third season and they hardly have a scratch on them. They have held up extremely well. But the ducks do need some help... at least mine do.
