The 06 Adventures that have specific serial #'s were given an additional (2) years added to the warranty period for full hull replacement coverage. This was because some people had developed a crack in the drive well area.
The crack would develop as a result of
Not tightening down the Mirage Drive Properly and allowing it to slide forward and smash into the hull.
After diagnosing what caused the problem Hobie offered a drive well strengthening kit with longer cam knob bolts, and a fiberglass wedge to stiffen up the area, and by letter stated they were extending the warranty for an additional (2) years and prorated warranty after that. :ThumbsUp:

Out of the (3) 2006 Adventures we owned none has ever had a single problem. Two of those boats spent most of their life in Baja and one is still down there. One has been sold in Baja, and the 3rd. boat still fishes La Jolla at least once a week problem free.
Its basically a free extended warranty.
