Cracked revo - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hobie very generously pro rates out of warranty kayaks. Example of Benny's 6 years use of a kayak and multiple owners, and then getting a brand new one at a fraction of the cost of new. The cracking described is very rare, I have had one come through my store and Hobie was very surprised to hear it on a newer drive.

Thanks to everyone for your info and encouragement. I bought the kayak new from fast lane in November of 09. I stared to see water a couple of months ago, but just thought it was coming in from the top when a wave washed over me at launch. It continued to get worse and I saw significant water even if I went to the bay. Fastlane has filed a picture with Hobie and I am waiting to hear from them. I hope I don't lose too much fishing time while I am waiting to hear.

I just heard from the guys at fast lane, Hobie is replacing the kayak. Great news and I am very happy they are standing behind their product.

Great to hear that Hobie will be replacing the kayak. That's what I call great service and standing behind their product.
