What kind of cracks and where?

There is not great material for repairing the hull material.

-on my stbd hull where the front crossbar attaches
-around the cup holders on the stb side

those are the only 2 it found so far...will keep looking

from reading these forums, it appears that the hull cracks are due to a manufacturing defect (cooking times) if that is the case, then hobie should be replacing free of charge

Post subject:  Cracks

Cracks? Depends on the age of the boat as to the appropriate warranty coverage. The boats have a one year (100%) warranty. We have made an adjustment policy for this issue that reflects what the Coleman Company did when they owned Hobie Cat. The Coleman warranty was 5 years. 100 / 80 / 60 / 40 / 20 percent coverage based on retail value of a hull. We have used the same formula, but maximized the warranty to 50% all the way out to 5 years. 100 / 80 / 60 / 50 / 50 percent.

By the way, the cracks have been primarily cosmetic. We have not seen a structural failure to my knowledge.

So, if your boat falls into this range, contact your dealer to file a warranty claim.
