The $750 prorated warranty is a bunch of shit since that is obviously a design flaw / manufacture defect. Hobie is aware of this.
If you are the original owner I would deal directly with Hobie and get a FREE replacement....I would not settle for anything less.

Like others said...your boat with the crack is now trash. I wouldn't even bother with a repair attempt. $.02

Please keep us updated.

CaboJohn I felt the same way, I did go stright to hobie at first but then they sent me to a dealer.

Im thinking of going stright to hobie again. This guy said he would help me out if hobie doesnt replace it.

I can tell you for certain that it can be welded, I have a rental Outback that I have repaired. Will it last forever..........I keep an eye on it.

Cabo, not many companies out there that will transfer warranty to the second party

On a side note if Iceman Andy says he can fix it you should look no further. He certainly has more experience repairing kayaks than most people.


Bring him the kayak and let him make a repair before you butcher it up.
