Yep, Steve gave me a complete replacement hull for $0. Not even shipping was charged. Originally, I bought a glass hull (for a bargain price) the spring after he released them the winter prior. After a few months I had some cracking around the handle pole bracket. Called him about it and he said ride it like hell and try to break it and he'll get me a replacement hull. I beat on it all summer/fall and had no other failures or cracks worsening. Steve asked me to sell it local and send the money back when he provided the replacement hull and I said fair enough. He came through with the hull by late fall/early winter. I sold the original to Sportfish who beefed up the weak pole area and he's been thrashing it for 2 years further with some surf riding too. Steve sent me a complete glass/carbon hybrid hull and hood. After seeing the Phantoms I'd say they're a step beyond in terms of fit, finish and function. I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat too.No idea what your talking about. Pablos was built over 2 years ago.
