I recently had a Revolution Hull replaced under warranty, but the new replacement hull has a curve to the left near the bow. I definitely think its curved enough to affect the tracking of the boat in the water.

I have not put the new hull in the water yet, and I'm kind of bummed I have a curved kayak.

Has anyone else noticed any abnormality in their hulls, any curves near the bow ?

I have held off on any rigging until I get some feed back as to the Hulls condition.

I bought a Revolution for one of my sons in Fort Worth. While looking at the boats in the store I noticed that the ones on display on this big rack they had all had sunken places in the hulls at the place where they were sitting on the racks. I guess since they sat on the racks for a long time with all their weight on just the two points where they made contact with the rack it caused this. The salesmen in the store insisted they would go back to their original shape after they were removed from the rack for a while. But I don't know. I didn't buy one off the rack. I had another dealer tell me the best way to store them is by standing them up on one end.

I had a Revo replaced also,, seems to be a trend with the Rveo.. The Adventure hull has more shape to it's bottom side.
They didn't sell many kayaks if there dented even when new in the store i bet!!! Royg
