I don't know what it is but I have the urge for another vessel. Everything from a power boat to a sail boat to a kayak.
Right now I'm between getting a sailboat, adventure island or a pro angler.

I would like a big power boat but out of my price range

I sure liked that adventure island. Not sure if any of you saw akfishn sailing his but it was impressive!

Heck ya!  I'm torn between another outback for family use, the inflatable hobie for travel, and the tandem island.

Leaning towards tandem island. Of course it's the priciest of the choices so I will probably hold off for a while.

I have a 21ft center console with 150hp and a river skiff with a 30hp. Neither has been used since I started kayaking three years ago.  I've always just jumped on a friends boat when I needed power which is only a few times per year.

I'm totally lusting after a Hobie.  The speed of the Adventure is appealing, as is the stability of the Outback.  But, without a significant change in fortunes, it'll be a while before I can add to the fleet.

Oh my! Sumpnz - you have a strong sexual desire for a hobie!!! I think (I hope) you are actually coveting a hobie... otherwise, well... save money for counseling and seeing a doc... cause I would imagine rotomolded plastic is not kind to the... well, you get the point.  >:D

For myself - I would love to possess a hobie as well... I think I would also really like the OK 4.3... the lines are just so... desirable... I think I may need to save money for counseling too.

whatever happened to kayak monogamy? :'(

eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches -
that is the right and privilege of any free American."

Kazkasi kayaks are gorgeous, sleek and lightweight. Pricey though...but I guess this thread is about dreaming right?

I've got the opposit problem.  4 in the garage and one wrapped in a tarp in the yard.  Time to scale down.....  It's just hard choosing which one to dump.  I love them all!

I suppose I could sell them all to make a small down payment on an AI....   :laugh:

Lately I've been really fighting the urge to get something bigger again.  Offshore adventures and Tuna are calling my name.

I would love an AI. Those things are so sexy. For now I'm happily married to my Outback. Such a sweet fishing platform, and a perfect fit for my body frame.

Hey Jeff,
I saw you in your truck hauling that beast down Market Street just before 5pm this afternoon.  I think you must have been too high on polyethylene fumes to notice me waving.
