From looking at that picture, that is so much of a manufacturer warranty
issue that I can't understand why they wouldn't replace it. I worked in the
industry, though not for Coleman or Pelican, and can see clearly that they
should replace this. Did you send them the picture? I'm assuming that you
did. Have you tried calling them and talking to a manager or even the
president of the company?

We sent a series of pics to the dealer, who in turn forwarded them to
Pelican. That Pelican offered to send the dealer a set of reinforcement
straps suggests they've run in to the problem before, which is why I posed
the question to the newsgroup. The dealer is forwarding our reluctance to
accept a makeshift solution to Pelican. I'm curious to see if the EU laws
do a better job of protecting the consumer.

Beg pardon? Durable only if you don't bump rocks, have a snowbank form on it
or drop it off your roofrack. Any canoe will be 'durable' if not subjected
to stresses, but Coleman's are notorious for having their aluminum skeletons
warp out of shape when subjected to forces that other boats rebound from.
