Are they going to allow those on the Islander?

I will be taking this for my Dad and I next year! :D

That's almost big enough to serve as a mother ship for THE ISLANDER!

YOU know that will be fun for both of you. How soon before there is one to check out?

September 1, right now dealers can only do presales.

When will OEX have a model to demo? I been thinking tandem island but this may work out better.

September 1 is what I have been told. My plan is to rig one up with electronics, livewell and trailer and rent for $100 a day and apply that $100 to future purchase :D

That is a good plan. Where do we sign up for a rigged rental?

can't wait for launching and landing footage... :D

Just saw video of it.

after rigging, bait tank, sand wheels, trailer ect what are we looking at? $7k plus? I think i'd like at a 16ish foot Boston wheeler at that point.

^^

Bingo! Btw interesting you can turn one seat around to fact each other and peddle at same time. Didn't think that was possible. But I guess you just switch the position of drive. Love the look of new livewell.

After trying the PA 12 still can't imagine hauling this thing around. I'm sure there is a need or it would not be build.

this definitely is not going to appeal to people who are primarily fishing from kayaks because they are cheaper than boats, that is like not buying a $3000 road bike because you can buy a used car for that price.............this thing is going to be really cool! :D

Andy, can you please post the dimentions please, specially the width and height. Thanks for all you do for our community.

I've been considering Tandem Island for a while. Thing is, not having any experience with them, it seems it would be kind of awkward to fish from. This looks like just what I was looking for.

Bob, no height published yet, width 43.5 inches, length 17 feet

So with the length to width ratio it should be faster than the PA14 with one person, AND much faster with two. Still might be tuff in the surf zone, but pratice would make it better. The younger crowd, under 50, should have a ball with this, AND what a BAJA machine it would make!!!!!

Is that lake hodges?

I think you meant under 52.............. :D

Yes, I heard Hodges
