Once again Cody you are mis informed.
I can bring my boat to an Aire dealer that is certified to make repairs, which is only about 12 miles from my house.  What do you think the cost of a full floor replacement is if I end up ripping the thing out and totally destroying it would be?  Probably a lot more than the shipping cost to Boise, even if I had to pay shipping.  Four years is not that long to be bragging about your glue jobs as almost anyone with experience with glued boats will tell you.  I have had a couple glued boats over the years, and all had total glue failures around the 12 year range (both Odyssey boats.  That being said the cost to life span ratio was good.   I actually paid about $1300 more for my Aire raft (factory blemish) than your boats cost, considering it will probably last twice as long and has a 10 year no fault warranty, and is made in america, money well spent to me, and yes I am not a boner - I realize what my money is spent for - a high quality raft, 10 year no-fault warranty, and jobs that are staying in America.
