Thanks for the update.  Born and raised in the North Valley.  Heat not an issue with me.  Usually go to Baja two or more times a year, based on what's biting and who is available (poor working stiffs).

Are the sierra hitting yet?  June is supposed to be the hot month for them.

Fire Captain, green or red?

Take a look at the www.TIE-FAST.com web site.  They make a great tool for splicing line, snelling hooks, and attaching line to your terminal tackle.

ADT,

I am one of those 22.  I'll be looking for you Wednesday afternoon/evening at the cove campground.  Rather than pick an unknown online, I'd rather meet in person my fellow teammates at the cove.

707eric,

  I'm needing to partner up since my original team member cancelled.  Want to pair-up with SOMA?  I'll be on site on Wednesday for pre-fishing, crabbing and setting up camp.  Interested?

My two man team just got dissolved.  My fishing partner was just put on the injured disabled list by his doctor.  That leaves me solo.  I need to be adopted by a team to meet the event regulations.  I'll be arriving on Wednesday the 14th for some pre-fishing and crabbing.  Anyone out there need to have a team member scapegoat?  SOMA

After closer look at photo with flipper, THAT is a big hole.  Don't know what to say about fixing that other than trying fiberglass cloth.  The $15 rudder replacement came from Austin Kayak Company web site.  You can't upgrade to the twist and stow rudder system for the older rudder system.  Different hull design.  I have had more trouble with the twist and stow system than with the original system.  The newer models have a different style (shark fin) replacing the twist and stow.

Where to start?
Problem with your rudder line?  Have you googled Hobie rudder repair?  That's where I learned how to repair the same issue on one of my Hobies.
Chunk missing out of rudder?  If your Hobie is tens years old, you have the old style rudder which only cost $15 to replace.  I know since I've replaced two of the old style rudders.
Mystery leak?  I had the same problem with my oldest Sport.  Weak spot on the front end of the drive well.  Over time, the pressure of the drive wears the plastic eventually creating a leak.   I was told that at one type Hobie had a fix for the design error.  That time has long past.  I use tube of fiberglass repair stuff spread over a sheet of fiberglass cloth.
Rod (mast) sticking out at bottom of flipper?  The marine goop used to seal fishfinder holes (holes drilled to run wires through the hull) has been working for me.  I also trimmed about 3/4 inch of the rod off so it would not stick out even if the goop failed.  The trimming tip was discovered by accident when I snapped off 3/4 inch of the top of the rod trying to straighten a bent rod.  You may need to file a flat spot on the top part of the mast so that the set-screw can grip.
Bungee material and end pieces are cheap.
Flat bottom from exposure to heat?  I purchased an Adventure Island that had to deep dimples on the bottom from being stored on the trailer rack, right side up.  This may work for you to correct a flat bottom.  Blocks inside the hull, with wedges forced in to expand the depressions and then stored upside down in the hot sun may reshape the hull.  Keep at it until you get the result you want.

And if all this fails, how much do you want for the Hobie?  Just kidding, the wife thinks I have too may already.
