The Cheapskate Kayak Fisherman - Deals Thread

Awesome - thanks so much for sharing. Worst case if it doesn't come with wheels, I'm out $10 for shipping it back. Worth the risk.

If you're in the market for a Hobie Trax scupper cart.

I know it says "wheels not included" but someone else I know ordered this (he didnt see that the wheels were not included) and it came with the wheels and they are the bigger wheels.  I was tempted so I ordered one also.  It's supposed to be here Tues, I will keep you all informed.  If it comes with the wheels too then this is a killer deal.  About $150 with the additional 16% off that they are offering right now and free shipping too 

This listing definitely comes with wheels...mine arrived today. Based on the original price (MSRP) on the website, I think that they just have the wrong photo shown with the listing. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this deal. $152 out the door with free shipping is a phenomenal deal, likely unbeatable or very hard to beat, for hobie equipment which is seldom on sale.

I received mine today too… the frame only!
NO WHEELS!

I received mine also with no wheels 

I emailed them and told them I need to return it because it came with no wheels and they immediately responded and apologized and waived the $10 return fee.    I may try again once I get my refund for this one.  Its too good of a deal to pass up...

This supplier may use multiple "fulfillment partners" and each of them does something different ... regarding wheels.
My bare Hobie frame came from Bakersfield, CA.  The House Outdoor has just one store in St Paul Minnesota.

I'm happy this has worked out for some.
I suspect Steve catches more fish than me too.

I am imagining that the warehouse in Bakersfield employs two people who have been packing our boxes (mine came from Bakersfield as well) - one staff is packing boxes with wheels, and one is packing boxes without. Roll the dice and you might get lucky. Very odd that the House doesn't really know what they're selling or packing. Could be worth two rolls of the dice as hdpwipmonkey suggested

I think you could put this one in the category of wildly unnecessary but could be fun nonetheless.

Can't imagine a 12" screen on a kayak but for the price why not?

I was gonna switch to a Humminbird Helix but this is berry berry temping.....Thanks for sharing this!

I'd check the amperage draw on that.  If you go with a screen that large it's likely drawing a lot of amps which might mean you need a bigger battery to run it (unless you only go out for a couple hours).

.... .but for the price why not?

It's a Lowrance.

It's a Lowrance. 

hahahaha

oh my what a bunch of fuddy duddys!! But in all seriousness it is a bit overkill. I think my 7" Garmin is just fine and plenty big even with split screen. I do think it's a good deal if you're looking for a larger screen though. Looks like about a 1amp/hr draw so yeah it's definitely up there but with lithium as cheap as it is now you can take care of that reasonably inexpensively. Agreed that Lowrance has been marginal with the value prop lately.

The sand wheel version (that I use) is on sale as well. Great deals, considering. I'm considering getting a set of the non-sand wheels for when I'm at a ramp.

Might need to get me some of those..... Learned the hard way this summer that my current rigs are a lot heavier than what I grew up using.
