That moment when you are 4 miles offshore and feel like your yak is floating/handling a little funny... you open your hatch to learn that your kayak is now a cruise ship with a swimming pool below decks! Thank you Sven for helping figure it out.

Long story short. My 2011 Outback I bought used. Had a small leak that I could not find. It was in the backend of the drive well. Maybe 1 1/2 inches long, below the water line.

Hobie was contacted, within a day I got my answer, it is covered. It is repairable but I was worried seeing it keeps going to Baja. Hobie will replace with a NEW 2014 hull for $500.00 which I think is a great deal. But waiting to see what it would cost for the 2015. They are really into their customer Service.

That's a great deal for a 2014, if they can hook you up with a 2015 for the same price that would make a great deal more like an awesome deal!!

$500 replacement for a 4 year old kayak is very fair on Hobies part . I do not think you will be given an option for a 2015, I tried for someone else.

Agreed, Figure a little more then I have to purchase the new seat as it is a hull swap. But I already got the new drive as a spare so I am hoping to upgrade it to the 2015.

Oceanside offered my buddy $900 for a swap out for his 2011 Revo has a big crack in the drive well for a 15'. He's going to make the trade, just tight on funds

Andy I feel that is a great price for the 14. I could only hope about the 2015. If it happens fantastic, if not I will have a NEW 14. Hobie stepped up. They show they care about their customers.
