Let us know how you do....is it still tog this time of year?

I came back home after driving 45 minutes. The day before, because of strong NE wind, I decided to go to Kipto. ER was the backup. Since Hobie Outback is too heavy to pull on the long sandy trail at Kipto, I took Hobie Revo. While I was driving, I recognized that I didn't inspect the Revo after suspecting cracks on the hull. Twice in a row last year there was 3-4 and 5-6 gallons of water in the hull after fishing for 6 and 9 hours. That was why I haven't used the Revo for a while.

I came back home. Well, I didn't think switching kayak and driving almost 4 hours would work. So I gave up fishing. Instead I inspected the hull, but I couldn't find the crack. I put the kayak on a bunch of exercise mats and poured water in.

I found the crack. The crack was inside of a seat peg hole. I called the Hobie at Wood Bridge. At the Wood Bridge, while I was waiting, all four seat peg holes were repaired/reenforced. Also put the new (on 2013/2014 model) seat peg receivers on the kayak and new seat pegs on the seat. All this was under warranty for the 2011 Revo. I was very pleased by Hobie's warranty policy.

I inspected Outback too. Now I am ready to go.

I too had a crack in one of the peg holes from the expansion plugs. BYB Woodbridge charged me $50 to repair the hole and retrofit both holes with the new slotted plugs in my 2011 Outback. This was done last fall. You must have charmed them well to get it free, Joe.

Water temp is going up at CBBT. I should be togging out there soon because tog season will be closing.

Tufnik,
Perhaps, Hobie recognized the problem with the expansion pegs later.

I am off tomorrow, but the NW wind will be too strong at CBBT, Kipto and CHSP. The wind in March has been always strong for years.
My next off day is Tuesday. I am hoping the east wind on Tuesday, so that I can try Kipto at least.

Nearly 50 degree water temps has me thinking I am heading to Kipto Next week and maybe CBBT. Will you be going down there Joe?

[ComeOnFish]

Bumping it up so I can find it easily.
