I just recently bought a Malibu Two Ocean Kayak on craigs list for really cheap, i wondered if something was wrong with it and sure enough it has a small leak. It doesn't take on enough water to even come close to sinking but i still would like to find a way to repair it. I have already located the leak i really just need to figure out how to repair it? Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks for your time.

Take it to All Wet Sports, or Black Creek Outfitters, and let them take a look at it. Might just need a plastic weld.

For my Kayak repair I ordered and used a devise known as a KC Welder and it sealed a number of holes in my kayak, when I swapped out all of my rod holders, prior to selling the Kayak. It took a little practice but after the third hole I was patching like a pro. You can order strips that match the color of your Kayak and I believe the cost was under $50 for the whole set up, welding rod, plastic strips and plastic cleaner. Just don't do what I did and over order on the strips, as I only used about 5 to patch about 20 holes, so I have a lot of leftovers, ready for the next time I go drill crazy. Then in retrospect and like a few other folks talked about, the people at Black Creek or All Wet Sports already have the equipment and experience, which makes life a little easier.

Andy at All Wet Sports will take care of you. Very good work and for a great price. Much safer to take it to him than trust a do it yourself job to Mother Nature's whims.
