2013 Hobie Adventure

Mirage Drive with Turbo Fins
Sail Rudder
Lowrance Color GPS, With Battery, case and charger

Hobie Bait Tank with 5 rodholders, battery, charger and upgraded Cole Hersee toggle switch.

Hobie Rod Extenders to keep your reels dry
Hobie seat with iComfort pad
Homemade heavy-duty cart for long pulls through sand
Yakima Landshark saddles
Game Clip
Bilge pump
Everything is in very good condition. Scrubbed down after every trip and stored indoors.

Cruising speed in open water is 3 - 4 knots, 6 tops. In the bay I've gotten it up to 8 knots but cruising speed is around 5 - 6. I beach launch it using the drive only and have never got tossed. It's fast enough to out run most waves @ Cabrillo and LJ so 9/10 times I'll also kick in. Secondary stability is very good so its easy to brace when you have to.

7' rods will fit below deck. No need to worry about breaking rods or dunking reels on a botched landing.

Here's a video of it keeping up with a pod of Dolphins. https://youtu.be/LbSKgSWqG1o

Located in Moreno Valley / East Riverside
