Topic: Hobie Adventure Sit-on-top Kayak with Mirage Drive (LOTS of extras) (Read 9194 times)

Last year's Hobie Adventure loaded with extras! It's in really good shape, and has been completely outfitted to be a fishing kayak. A great boat for hauling sea monsters up from the briny depths, or just cruising around the local lake. I've had this thing in some big water (WA coast) and it performs well. Caught some BIG fish off this thing.

I have another kayak and haven't been using this one much, which pains me because it's such a nice boat. I'd rather see it get used than sit in the garage!

Specifications:

* Length: 16' / 4.88 m
* Width: 27.5" / .7 m
* MirageDrive Weight: 6.6 lbs / 3 kg
* Hull Weight: 62 lbs / 28.12 kg
* Capacity: 350 lbs / 159 kg
* Crew: 1
* Hull Construction: Rotomolded Polyethylene
* Color: Dune

Features

* MirageDrive
* Twist and Stow Rudder
* Adjustable High Back Padded Seat w/ Inflatable Lumbar Support
* Two-Piece Paddle w/ On-Hull Storage
* Large Covered Bow Hatch
* Sail Mount
* Two Molded-In Rod Holders
* Two 8" Twist and Seal Hatches w/ Gear Bucket
* Two Mesh-Covered Stowage Pockets

I'm charging what I paid for it. Here's what's been added since it was new:

* turbo fins on the mirage drive (make a HUGE difference. I can travel at 4mph, and sprint at 5-6mph)
* sailing rudder (also makes a huge difference)
* 2 forward scotty flush deck mounts (one has a removeable RAM wedge-ball mount in it, the other is great for a forward rodholder)
* Hobie AMA "Sidekick" outrigger installation. GREAT for super choppy water OR for standing and fishing. Would also be good if you want to add a sail. These are $150 retail.
* RAM wedge-ball mount in the sail slot. I used for my fish finder.
* transducer puck mount inside hull
* really nice sunnto compass
* anchor trolly
* reflective tape. Safety!

$1500. Contact Rory. Bellingham, WA. 773.269.9511.

This boat could easily be converted to an Adventure Island with the conversion kit.
