Hello. I have an older model (2004 I think) 12’ tandem Oasis model. There is about a 3-inch crack at the rear of the hull near the rudder. Does anyone have a suggestion for repairing or patching the crack? I have tried a few things, like epoxy and welding but these have not held up. Thank you.

You should considering ordering this "welding kit" from you Hobie dealer.
KC WELDER PRO WITH HOBIE COLOR ROD STOCK200 Watt element, flat tip and a 3/16” hole in tip for rod insertion. Includes a selection of Hobie color welding rod. Fix holes and cracks or customize polyethylene products. Insert the rod into the tip and place against the product to be welded. The tip heats the plastic surface and the rod. As the materials melt, move the tip along the repair area while pushing the rod into the tip to fill the repair area with new plastic material. Plug small holes after moving accessories. Rebuild keels after excessive wear from dragging.72097001 KC WELDER PRO
