Catastrophic seam failure

So, I glued an eye back on, as well as gluing the scupper back together. when i checked in the morning, one side was flat, as well as the floor. i found the leak in the floor. It was a 3/8 glue seam that wraps around the drive. It looks like the whole seam is going. How it lasted this long is a miracle. The second leak looks like several seams going at once. I bought it new in 2016, and was hoping to get a few more years out of it. It lived in an apartment, and was never left in the sun or a trunk. Has anyone done a complicated repair like this?. The floor looks irreparable, and even if i manage to fix it, will the other seams go the same way. It was a great saltwater fishing kayak,very tough, i was surprised to find that seam. I have attached two photos. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Brian

And, how do you post pictures?. And what is going on with all the font colors.?. Smillies ? I would say this is run by schoolgirls, but if it was, I would be very easy to post photos. Cheers, Brian

1. Can't see your pics.

2. Your boat is under warranty for 2 years. See your dealer to file a claim.

3. Is this an inflatable? the plastic kayaks don't have seams.

I fixed the URLs and image code.

Corrected code is as below:

Yeah, the forums software is a bit aged, but transitioning to new can lose a lot of content.

Thanks for fixing my pictures mat. I bought the kayak in 2012. I contacted the shop where i purchased it, waiting to here back. It does not look good. It was a great kayak, but now that i can see how the floor ties into the well, I would never buy another one.
