While wiping our new Bravo down (with 303 protectant), I noticed that both inner hulls had a couple of round abrasions or rough marks a few inches in diameter. Is this normal? Maybe this is part of the process with plastic hulls...? Or is it a defect...? Just curious. Thanks much! |

... so, looking foreword through the drain holes, all four of these marks/scars seem to have a peg of excess plastic protruding within the hull... maybe part of the process, and not a defect...? |

Yes. Likely the air vents. |

Thanks, Matt. I don’t remember them on my Getaway (2012?). Is it a newer process? Does it always leave a rough scar on the outside? |

Getaways have a vent inside the cooler that is replaced by a hatch lid. Wave are under the seat pads. Kayaks are where hatches are added. They all have vents for roto molding. |

Thanks Matt. Very interesting. Are their any video links that show the rotomolded process at Hobie. I would love to see how it’s actually done. It’s definitely revolutionized the boating industry... for good! |

This is a bit old, but good stuff. |
