Pro Angler - I have a 2 year old pro angler that I use extensively. It has developed leaks where the drive is. I have had the dealer weld it twice but the leaks reappear. I have two questions:
1. Is this something that happens with Pro Anglers?
2. What would be the best method of treating the boat for leaks? :? :?

We don't recommend plastic repair in the drive well. In a high stress area, and underwater like the front of the drive well we would prefer the hull to be replaced. (Plastic welding is great for 'above' the waterline repairs though) Your boat comes with a 2 year manufacturers warranty - just have your dealer place a claim to Hobie Cat Co. and go from there - not sure you'll every have 100% success with trying to repair in that spot unfortunately.
