Drag it up to Oregon and you can use mine.

Before you weld check with the warranty first. Contact to. Local dealer and they can start a claim.

My wife's brand new predator pdl had damage in the front scupper hole from the factory. We made Old Town replace the kayak, I wasn't going to let her go out on the ocean with the potential for unseen damage. What ever had been stuffed into the scupper had scraped plastic from the inside enough that it had to have weakened the sidewalls. It took Old Town three weeks to acknowledge the damage and offer to replace the kayak. They said it may take up to a month to send her a new hull, I guess there is no hurry once they have their money. The sad thing is we are missing the pan fish spawn while we are waiting.

According to Hobie...storage on the cart for over one hour is not recommended and may void your warranty...
This is from my 2020 kayak...

I was looking up the warrant and the 2019’s and up have a three year warranty and anything before that is a two year warranty mine is a 2017. I’m gonna hit them up Monday and see what they can do if not it looks like the plastic welder or JB weld. I have a Hand bilge pump just in case.

The picture you posted looks like a poorly made hull. The hull would not crack that way and not deform the reinforced black area, even, if you stored it on the cart and had 20 extra lbs on top. I would take it to Fast Lane and have them look at it first, but if that is not covered under warranty, then I would never purchase another Hobie. They should give you a new hull.
