Hi, I just purchased a Pro Angler (and love it) and noticed that inside the hull under the seat, there is a "bubble" about 1" x 1/2" sticking up from the floor. My question is, would that have any effect on the strength on the hull down the road, or is that fairly normal when a boat comes out of the mold? Thanks. |

What you are seeing is the area in the hull which gets plastic accruement while in the molding process. Where the hatch is located – during the oven process there is a vent, which plastic ‘drip’s off of while the hull is being molded. Every kayak we build will have this same type of ‘irregular’ plastic bulges or thickness differences – Sometimes it builds up so think that we will actually ‘grind’ some of it way so that the gear bucket will fit into the hatch. It isn’t anything that is a worry – you could probably take a look at 20 hulls same model as yours and find the exact same type of irregularities. |
