Once in the safe the number doesn't matter. The key is getting it into the safe undetected.

Somebody has read about gun running from Patrick F. McManus I see.

That is so true!!!...then the first time you pull it out you act like you've owned it for years..."oh yeah, I've had this forever...it was my Great Great Grand Fathers Sig .556"

Maybe that shop sucks?
Which one? Ballard Inflatables? Yes, it does.

Apparently I got the same problem with my '13 Outback. I didn't realize that it could be a problem until I found this topic.

I have been to Hoodsport last weekend and got about 1 gallon of water after about 4 hours of fishing. It didn't bother me, but today it scared off a buyer of my Outback, so I decided to research if it is a problem (just in case) and it could be good, that I didn't sell the boat today.

I took a look at the underwater part of the hull and I didn't find anything suspicious. Everything seems intact.

I will fill it with water tomorrow to see if I can locate the leak.

Funny thing about forums like this, is that people present the problems and other people discuss solutions. People usually don't reply unless that problem has significance to them.
Basing a decision on whether to purchase an item on these discussions is sort of foolhardy. Sure use it as one of the factors but not the main reason. I have owned 4 Hobies and have not had any problems what so ever. Those who know me would attest that I am not easy on my kayaks. What is amazing to me is the customer service that Hobie has demonstrated. How many companies do you know that will work with people after the warranty period?
