Not at all unusual to get a hole in the he keel of those Prowler but dead easy to repair with a torch, butter knife a scrap piece of plastic and a rasp. Some one will get a deal here. GLWS.

Or a more elaborate fix with I did on one of my Prowlers, I got some aircraft grade carbon fiber fabric and epoxy of eBay and put a couple layers of that on the keel. Stronger than new when finished. Actually scratched the asphalt when I dragged the yak on it.

After the repair of the hole I'd be somewhat concerned with the apparent exposure to the sun that it has seen. Either way, good deal for anyone that ends up with it.

There is a video that Chad Hoover made fixing a kayak in the same area, and he reenforced it with wooden dowels. There's a ton that can be done, and a nice boat in the end. Heck for the price, if you're looking to get into Kayak fishing, this is a great boat to start out in.

It was very difficult for me not to jump on this deal. I was thinking of repairing and reselling it, or donating it to the HOW program. I see that it has been sold. That's a great boat for the price and a very easy repair.
