Hobie PA 12 for sale. 1500 missing the awesome Vantage chair and the rubber fins need to be replaced on the mirage drive. Vantage chair has been replaced with a homemade chair. It's a function over form type thing. Plus the price has been lowered because of it. It is in Seaside OR right now. No issues with it still fish out of it, just need to get rid of it. Pm me with more details if needed.

Unfortunately I am not in the market for a PA 12 right now, but I have to admire the ingenuity in creating the wooden seat. One certainly wouldn't have to worry about that one sinking! A good deal for someone that may have a spare seat.

Caveat emptor: usually the reason that a Hobie pedal drive is for sale without the seat and the Mirage Drive is because the hull was stolen off the top of a vehicle or from a back yard by an individual who didn't realize or care that those items were missing.

This one is just missing the vantage seat, not the drive. Vantage seats can go missing for a number of innocent reasons. It's usually when the seat and drive are both missing that the hair starts to stand up for me, especially if there isn't a reason offered up front as to why they are missing.

I guess this one just didn't set off alarm bells for me like the one a few weeks back.

Of course we could look at the fact the account was registered in 2011, and unless the picture was recently changed, the one in the profile looks amazingly close to the one for sale.

Watching for stolen items is very important, and I'm certainly not suggesting the NWKA shouldn't play a role in that.  But, dropping the theft bomb without some/any background feels a bit like a snap judgement even when the later is not the intent.  Jumping quickly for a number of reasons has created some unjustified/unnecessary ill-will.  Just suggesting folks can accomplish the same thing without taking off the gloves out of the gate.  This is not directed at any individual, just an observation. 

Now, back to the sale of the Hobie...

Here's a brief explanation of what happened to the seat. http://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=16835.msg181563#msg181563
I didn't say the mirage drive was missing, the fins are cracked at the bottom and could stand to be replaced. The drive works just fine even with the cracks in them. I have had it since my avatar picture was taken, that's what the seat looked like in its glory. Hopefully this helps the internet warriors and their quick judgement. No nothing has been stolen from it.
