Poor Design / Warranty on the S6F

I got this boat as a repair. The back band and the thigh braces all mount on one bolt in the front of the cockpit.
The torque of both legs and back all placed on one part of the boat has caused the boat to crack. The plastic in this area is too thin to handle these loads.
Pyranha will send you a new boat if you are the original owner or they will send a large fender washer if you are trying to repair this boat.

This boat is underbuilt. They have corrected this problem on later boats.

So, while the outfitting is convenient and comfortable and the boat is great for free style, if you want more than one season out of this boat, send it back for a new one!
