oh... for what it's worth, i did talk to a guy at creek company and he said all their boats are lifetime warranty. and if i have a problem just cut out the problem area and send it back with an explaination. i asked if this meant the bladders too. and he said yes, we like to see the failure area and if you cut out the bad spot it'll save you postage of having to send the whole thing. i thought that was pretty cool. nice to hear from others that they take care of their customers. that'll go a long ways in my book.
