Help, I tore my boat

I have a crack in my hull about 2 inches long. it's on the upper deck right where the gunwale meets the deck. left side, right below where the rudder control is in the front seat of my ti. Can this be repaired? No idea how this happened, the other thing is right after I noticed it, I started pedaling, and now my mirage drive pops in and out of its retaining clips in the hull. So pedaling is out. what can i do, or how screwed am I?

thanks

Joe

Odd that the drive would be popping out related to this tear / crack.

Matt, I dont have any way to post photos to this site currently, I need to set one up. In the meantime I sent pics to your fb page in a message. Mike Brindisi from Select sail here in Omaha (our awesome Hobie dealer) will be examining the boat this afternoon.

Thanks

Joe Garcia

Holy crap Joe! When did you notice the crack? You didn't mention it on Sunday. Maybe this gives you a reason to upgrade to the demo '15 TI that they had out there.

Let us know what Mike says about the crack.
