I bought a Sojuourn in June, and the first time I tried to paddle it, the top deck cracked completely through with a 10" crack that wrapped around to the rear of the coaming. The dealer immediately determined this was not a repairable crack and refunded my purchase. I had not hit anything, and the crack developed just from getting into the boat. I am 6'4" and 250 pounds and I don't think the design or ABS layup is strong enough for boat or paddler so large. The vendor I bought it from said it was the third Sojourn 146 that had developed similar cracks in two months and said he was no longer going to carry that model. I have also heard reports from other merchants that Sojourns have a problem with its deign.
