So I cradled the yak  filled her with hot water and that seemed to warm the plastic up enough to pop the dent right on out. Im letting it sit and letting the water cool. Hopefully keeping that pressure on it will be enough to make it forget this ever happened  :smt002

I started thinking about all the trips and all the abuse I put her through(hard on my gear) I should really start treating her better. A tube of silicone, 15 ft of keeleazy and crossed fingers will hopefully keep her going strong for a few more years. Or Im letting it sink and buying a hobie  :smt044 J/K....hopefully

Thanks for all the suggestiond guys I couldn't have done it with out you :smt008
