wife messed up my brand new kayak - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

benichi · 03-18-2015, 12:32 PM

well, not a good day to wake up... my wife f'ed up my brand new kayak last night and didn't bother to tell me so freaking pissed right now does anyone know how to fix this...

easyday · 03-18-2015, 12:38 PM

if it's not all the way through fixing isn't really necessary, but if you wanted to you could take a doddering iron with a flat tip and smooth it out.

MrM · 03-18-2015, 12:46 PM

Well, obviously fix the wife thing first. After that, I second the notion of "if its not all the way through... don't screw with it."

I had an old OK Trident that got a rough ride due to a screwed up swim step on a boat. Looked like a shark got to it. Some of the deep cuts I flattened out with a heat gun and some spare material. The shallow cuts, all I did was make it look worse.

Most importantly, you can deform the plastic by putting too much heat in an area for too long. If you haven't done it before, I wouldn't try on your new ride.

Looks cosmetic. Actually, it looks like some points in your column when you tell her that you understand it was an accident and she is more important than any material thing you have.

Should get you on the water more for a while

leave it alone... you can always call the manufacture to send you some plastic of the same color and weld it or just some go over it with a solider iron with a flat tip. I have one that hobie makes.

When your wife comes home today....

Do not bring it up......

......just be silent and look sad.....

.....when she says "what's wrong?"......

....you ......sigh....."nothing".....

.....remember ...work the sad eyes.....

Next "marriage lesson". Will not be free.

Fix the wife part or the kayak?

ful-rac · 03-18-2015, 12:44 PM

I think she's trying to tell you something....

momo fish · 03-18-2015, 02:54 PM

Don't feel to bad.. My first trip on new kayak got all scratched up after landing low tide and not seeing the rocks. Looks far worst than your damage and it was under the kayak of all places.. Could not blame anyone but myself

benichi · 03-18-2015, 02:59 PM

yeah just sucks at least she still floats

easyday · 03-18-2015, 03:07 PM

It happens man, mine came off the delivery truck messed up. from the forklift. Andy did a great job smoothing it all out. All our kayaks on here have their battle scars. if they don't they don't get used enough.....

Bert Vega · 03-18-2015, 03:07 PM

Your supposed to scratch it right when you get it. Like a helmet. I wont put a new one on until after I drop it. In the grass of course, them things is expensive.

Wow!

Here's what you need to do.........give her the kayak! Now go get another one for you!

wiredantz · 03-18-2015, 03:58 PM

dont' listen to these guys, EVERY scratch COUNTS!..... people who don't care about scratches means they can dish money to get a new one.

If people only knew you had to sell your right kidney to buy this kayak because life has not treated you good.

Take a picture blow it up and put it on your bedroom wall. Let your wife be reminded of the pain she has caused your poor soul

CheapPelican · 03-18-2015, 04:21 PM

Act like you never saw it. Next time you take get on the water, call her from a different number and tell her that you just got picked up by the coast guard because your yak sprung a leak. Assure her you’re ok but your yak, rods, cell phone and wallet sunk.

Bonus points if you can pull this off on April fools day.

buddha · 03-18-2015, 04:22 PM

I will show you the bottom of my kayak and you will know what battle scars are!
