Official a PA Owner!
 
I'm officially a Hobie Pro Angler owner. I want to thank Roger AKA WahooUSMA! I don't think we have a trader rating system on this board so to those who buy anything from Roger, he's a stand up guy!

Now on to the PA. Wow, this thing is huge! It was interesting driving back home to San Diego. I saw a few passengers doing a double take as they passed by. I was going between 65-70 mph and the whole thing seemed pretty stable up top. I can't wait to take her out. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to until next week because of my work load. Here are some photos that I took with my phone before my trip back home.

Be careful, I'd advise not going over 70...might take flight...

Congrats...

Yeah, I only hit around 70 when passing by those who were much slower than I was. For the most part, my cruise control was set at 65.

Congrats. Tim is a great guy to buy a Hobie from. I was just there yesterday and bought my second Hobie from him recently.

Well if your brakes fail and you drive into the ocean, at least the car will float!:eek: Grats on a new sled!

Way too heavy what was hobie thinking, I have trouble with my outback.

There is nothing wrong with being high, dry and warm. That boat is epic.

romspacenut 10-19-2010 11:00 PM

It's not light by any means but it wasn't to bad to load by myself. I just got the Yakima Showboat attachment for my car rack and I was able to load it on top of my TL with no problems. I did have something over my trunk though to help me get started.

Well, you being a former Olympic power lifter does not hurt.....and that thing on the trunk was Premo stretched out....hahaha! Don't worry about the nayers. If it works for you, more power to ya! Personally I think its pretty cool you get to travel 1st class in the TL to the water, and then peddle around in the Roll Royce of kayaks!

"Load the Toad"....:cool:
