Eric, the easiest way to remove that awful new boat smell is to slime it a few times. If that will not work, just open hatch and leave a piece of bait there a day, new boat odor will be gone. However removing the bait smell will be much harder to do. 2012 Pa 14 dune |

If you can't find anything else to get rid of that terrible "new smell" why don't you just open a bag of chips and scatter them inside the hull. Leave them there for several months and you will more than destroy any semblance to a new smell with the fragrant aroma of mold. After that you can use a mild solution of bleach to kill the mold and once again return an almost like new smell. I know because I'm guilty of all of the above.

If there's one thing i can't tolerate it's that atrocious new boat stench . If i release the bungee in an attempt to open the hatch, i expect to be immediately bowled over where my eyes start watering and dry heaving commences. Shortly thereafter i'm usually rendered unconscious . I will actually pay my Hobie dealer extra to experience this event and would love for Hobie to consider it as standard equipment. |

Spill some GULP liquid in there and you will quickly miss that new kayak smell. A buddy of mine used our Oasis and left an open pack of Gulp Shrimp inside the hull for a whole weekend. That was six months ago and I swear I can still smell it. |
