That's a bad crack. You said it was leaking so it should be fixed.
I would first bring it to a Hobie dealer and file a claim. Even though it's a 2016, Hobie often stands behind their products even after warranty, so you never know. The hull should not have cracked like that under normal use.
If you have no luck with that, you have two choices.
1). Replace the hull. That would be very expensive and would require refitting the entire boat.
2). Repair the crack. This is not easy to do for a DIYer. Properly fixing a crack such as that in polyethylene is not easy because it's a very difficult material to properly repair. Few things stick to polyethylene so glues, caulks, and other fillers don't work well. It should be plastic welded. You could try to do it yourself but you might make it worse or not be able to repair it properly. If it were mine, I would bring it to an expert. There are people who know the proper methods for plastic welding. Since a lot of boats use plastics these days, you can often find them at boat body shops. Or sometimes they'll just be listed under plastic welding.
If you decide to try to fix it yourself, then at least go onto YouTube and watch videos on plastic welding and plastic boat repair. This will demonstrate how it's done.
