Hey all thanks for the great responses.  Sorry I didn't respond sooner, just started a second job that starts right after my first Mon to Fri..by the time I get home I am pretty beat to even look at the forum

it's most likely the damn twist and stow hatch gasket. my new 2014 takes in like a gallon of water when i take it out.

Hmm could be that I did replace it and then it started warping, for sure some is getting in there, same problem with the twist hatch at the rear will not seal properly cause of warping.

If its an older model 2008 or so with twist drive. Then I can bet that the drive well is cracked along the weld. Contact hobbie . They are aware of this problem. They replaced my 2008 ai for 400$  or so. This is a common problem . Almost everyone I know with older model has this problem.

Yeah it is an older model, not sure *how* old, kinda cool cause the decal at the back says 'Hobie Revolution FISH', it came w/ two ram mounts...I will contact Hobie, hopefully easier than working w/ ATT...

Most Hobies are on the right hand side, towards the rear.  It should be engraved into the hull.
