I know a guy with the hook hull issue. I promise you they know about it. In my opinion, Johnny needs to stop buying stuff and take care of issues with his product. The third owner is just a legal way for them not to be liable. The moral liability is something else they need to work on. It would be worth more to him in advertising $$ to go beyond the warranty on this issue and take care of this issue which is not the fault of the first, third, or 20th owner.
