My $.02:
Be sure to check the plastic around the scuppers on the underside... the ones in the seat area are subject to an area that gets a lot of flexing from a person's weight. The ones in the rear tankwell MAY have been weakened from a cart that used the scupper holes for attachment. From my limited knowledge, only the Hobies are approved for these type of carts...

Nice thing is, even if you do come across a leak, it can easily be fixed. I had Nate at the O'side OEX fix two major leaks and it made the world of difference...and it only set me back $35....
