Truth be told - I originally purchased 2 Ocean Kayak Prowler 13s like 2 months ago. Paddles , pfds, etc.. I had already dropped 2 bills so at the time Hobie Mirage was kinda out of the question. I had to return 1 of the Prowlers for a few reasons. 1. I found 2 leaks- obviously not water tested as guaranteed. 2. Ocean Kayak stamps their stuff in like 3 places with a serial number - no number. Yeah Quality assurance really sucked on this job. So my dealer orders another one to replace. The OK folks transposed a number and sent the wrong kayak ( wrong model and color) so thats replacement number 1. Replacement number 2 comes in and its all banged up and scratched up, granted shippers should be more careful but doesn't OK ship kayaks all the time, don't they know how to pack a kayak. Finally replacement number 3 comes in and i'm like I just don't want to screw with OK anymore, what happens if this one isn't up to snuff ? Since its a new kayak Mr dealer you can resell, since you charged me 06 pricing you can make like $200 more off of it. I applied the credit to the Hobie Revolution and will never look back. BTW OK felt really bad and promised a bunch of swag to make up for the problems (e.g. shirt , stickers, etc..) amazingly it never came. At least with Hobie if theres a probelm i can trek an hour south but i have the funny feeling I'll never have the need to other then to say hi and THANKS!!!!
