Just last week I purchased a new 2018 PA 14 from a reputable dealer near where I live. It was reduced due to being a 2018 model, so I got a good deal on it. It is a new kayak; not a demo or blemish. So happy to bring it home last week and I got it put a few days ago on its first voyage.
As I was spraying down the kayak when I got home, I opened the center hatch and removed my two tackle trays and the tray organizer to wipe down a little water that got inside during cleaning. This is when I noticed a 3” bubble that has me a bit concerned.
The bubble only appears to be visible on the inside of the boat. I don’t notice any visible blemish on the underside of the hull. But I’m worried that this might be a defect that could lead to future issues. A little unsettling after dropping 3k on a kayak.Might not be an issue in the first year or two, but how about after that when the warranty is expedited? If this is an issue, would it be best to address it now?
I contacted the dealer and was told this is fairly common on the PA kayaks but they also want me to be satisfied with my purchase. Thoughts?
