Title: FS Cobra Fish n Dive
Post by: hdpwipmonkey on October 13, 2018, 08:53:10 PM

With the new 2019 Outback out it's time to start thinking about getting one.  :banjo:
There's no way my wife will let me get another kayak without thinning out the herd first so I have to let this one go.  It will soon be on Craigslist but I figured I'd list it on here first.


It will be listed on Craigslist for $500 but I'd take $400 from a member on here (NWKA Family Discount).

Let me know if you're interested.

Tag Kyle and have him post that legendary craft on the spearo boards. Probably be gone by the morning at that price.

Man, I'd love to pick that up.  I could haul out an elk solo.  Alas, now is a bad time, even at that amazing price.

WOW!  That's a good deal!

My 1st kayak was a Fish n Dive.  I loved that boat!  It was, hands down, the best boat I've owned for entering and exiting thru surf.  I used to take mine out on really big days (8'+ swells).

I hope it finds a good home!

It was my first too... Great. Stable. Sleek. Handled well in just about anything... I sold her years ago... I have two Mini-Xes, a Cobra Explorer and Ms. Salma (Hobie Revo)...

Of course, my wife wouldn't stop at killing me for buying it... Still...

Awwww, man! This is a tough choice! Anyone want to buy a Mini-X or Cobra Explorer for $325 to offset my cost?

It is a great boat.  It paddles well and is super stable.  If you do happen to make an unintended exit from the boat it is super easy to re-enter (even for me).  I've been toying with the idea of selling it for a little while but I just couldn't bring myself to list it because I know as soon as it's gone I'll be missing it. 

With all of its pluses I do have one complaint about it.  There isn't much room in the footwells (at least for my size 14 hooves).  Most of the time that I'm in the boat my feet are over the sides because they just don't fit well in the footwells.  If you have big feet, just be aware of that issue.  Other than that, I love it.

Hurry and make an offer before I talk myself out of selling it...

I may have a buddy that's in the market for one... Have a paddle to throw in or just the kayak?

I do have a paddle but it isn't the greatest of quality.  I'd suggest a better one eventually for whoever the lucky new owner is.
